Additional Information
* Hello, Andy — Huckberry co-founder — here. I honestly wish I could reply to each and every one of you, but we're starting to receive a ton of applications, and carpal tunnel syndrome runs in my family. So if you don't hear back from me, please don't take it personally. We're growing like a weed and will be hiring for a bunch more positions in the near future. In the meantime, see you out there!
