.NET Developer at fully-funded London Start-Up

Hire Space was formed in October 2011 by Will, a former teacher, and Ed, then working in politics. Will had noticed that space in schools was often underused. Ed agreed, and thought the same applied to many other venues he'd come across. Hire Space was born. Hire Space is now fully funded by a number of high profile and influential investors and is looking to recruit. Its Website is being built by the team behind Confused.com, More Than and Money Supermarket, among others, and we now need developers to take the reins and continue with the development of the site.
