Are you an industry thought leader with a strong network in mobile, cloud, or web and the ability to build new business? Fed up with endless meetings, stifling bureaucracy, and caps on your potential? Explore a unique opportunity to drive your own future as Sourcebits Studio Director.
Sourcebits Studios are discrete practice groups with focus in specific areas from Mobile Enterprise Applications to Web Gaming. Each is headed by a highly qualified Studio Director who is responsible for driving their Studio’s projects from initial client engagement to final delivery.
Studio Directors are industry leaders in mobile, cloud, and UX design—from the former CEO of the world’s largest open-source mobile platform, to an Apple Design Award winner.
As a Director you’ll share completely in the success of your studio, and have full authority to run it as your own business unit—with unlimited potential. At the same time, you’ll have access to all of the resources Sourcebits provides as a global company backed by Sequoia Capital and IDG Ventures. Sourcebits gives an unprecedented level of support and trust to Studio Directors, and Directors return that trust by delivering spectacular service and results for their clients.
You’ll work with amazing people throughout the company who care as deeply about the success of your clients’ projects as you do. Because Studios work together, clients have access to the best minds in mobile, web, and cloud development across multiple platforms and disciplines. At the core of Sourcebits Studios you’ll find more than 400 Sourcebits employees, each whom bring their extreme passion and focus to client projects across a wide range of talents and skills.
We’re looking for a few people who share that passion and focus and can back it up with a track record of success. If you think you have what it takes to lead your own Studio, get in touch below to learn more.

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
Program Profile:
The 50-50 Design+Development Accelerator for Startups helps funded startups build and expand their product using the award-winning design and development team at Sourcebits.
Backed by Sequoia and IDG, Sourcebits has built applications for leading Startups such as Vivox, Quixey, TwitPic, Posterous, Skyfire, CloudOn, Peel, Knocking Live, and SlingBox, as well as industry giants like CocaCola, Intel, GE, Nielsen, and MIT.
If you are accepted into the program, you'll pay just 50% of the total design and development cost of your project. Sourcebits will then become a true partner with you, and take the balance in a note that converts to equity when you raise your next round.
How can we help?
After speaking with numerous funded startups from leading incubators like Y-Combinator, TechStars, RockHealth and Angelpad, we found one common factor holding back promising startups like yours - the challenge of building a rock-star in-house technical team quickly.
We all know that the best startups iterate quickly, find product-market fit, and then accelerate their market footprint by expanding across platforms. This enables them to secure their next round of funding and ensure growth.
We want to help you get there by giving you access to our team of over 350 designers, developers and product managers that have joined Sourcebits from amazing companies like Apple, Nintendo, Microsoft, and TechCrunch.
Whether you need help designing and developing an amazing product, or expanding across platforms quickly to grow your market exposure, we can help. From ideation to execution to iteration, we have you covered.
