The Obama Digital Team is Hiring

You could argue that this is very off topic for HN, and you'd probably be right, but on the other hand Obama's 2008 campaign was very entrepreneurial in many ways, and turned out to be a great launching pad for some of the folks that worked on it.

From the campaign's letter:

We need your help recruiting the folks that will wage the most innovative and effective digital campaign in history, a team that will not just surpass but demolish our fundraising, communications, and organizing goals.

That kind of work takes a lot of people -- and not just people with political experience. If we're going to transform the way campaigns are run and use every possible channel to help elect President Obama to a new term, we need fresh ideas and new talent from creative agencies, non-profits, media companies, tech startups, and anywhere else that employs people with drive, skill, and a desire to serve.

So here's the deal: We need people from around the country to join us full-time in our headquarters in Chicago, starting ASAP and committing through November 2012 for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to use their skills to make a real difference.

It won't pay very well. The hours are terrible. But it will be the most extraordinary, exhausting and fulfilling professional experience you or someone you know will ever have.

That last part definitely sounds a lot like a startup!
