Navio Invites those "who want to work at a 'change the world' kind of place" to apply for its VP of engineering job. By 'change the world' they mean help Disney to sell its A Small World ringtones as this is a DRM company.
Last November, Navio raised $25.4M in Series B. Stefan Roever is President and CEO. He previously co-founded and was CEO of Brokat Technologies, which went public in 1998 on the German Market and later in 2001, Brokat was dually listed on the NASDAQ. That stock has since been de-listed.
