About First Meta™ and its culture
First Meta™ is a high-growth, venture-backed start-up that provides a full suite of financial services for virtual worlds like Second Life. On 31 July, 2007, First Meta launched the first virtual-currency-denominated credit card, the MetaCard™, and is currently expanding into new products and new markets.
First Meta™ was founded in February 2007 by Douglas Abrams and Aileen Sim who have been working together for 6 years.
At First Meta™, we don’t care what time you come into work or what time you go off, as long as the work gets done. You will have the freedom to innovate, you will be encouraged to explore new ideas, and you will work with a group of people as exceptional as you.
We need people that are:
- Creative, good at problem-solving and resourceful
- Driven, highly motivated and hardworking as hell
- Able to step up and "get things done"
- Willing to take on responsibilities, be in charge and be accountable for them
Note: We don't care about your educational qualifications. But please do not apply if you haven't done anything beyond your coursework.
So why join First Meta™?
Because we rock. No, seriously. Since incorporation, we’ve hit every single milestone that we set out to hit. In less than 6 months, we raised funding, built out the management team and launched the product on time. We are today the leading virtual world financial services provider and the only fully-functioning in-world financial service provider in Second Life.
First Meta has been featured in the likes of TechCrunch, WIRED, BBC, BusinessWeek, London Times Online etc. Oh yes, and we were recognized by Red Herring as one of the top 200 fastest-growing technology companies in the world!
All that aside, you will be working with cool people in a fun environment.
You’ll learn more here in a year that you would 5 years at a corporate job.
And of course, you’ll be doing something that would change the world. (We can explain why over coffee.)
Oh and if you’re still not convinced, you could potentially make more money here in 3 years than you could 10 years at an MNC.
To apply
If all these sound exciting to you, send your resume to
and tell us in not more than 3 sentences how you are exceptional. We will try our very best to respond to each and every applicant.

Developers
We are primarily using the LAMP stack (P being PHP in this case) and Java for our systems. However, we do NOT need you to know these technologies specifically, have an ungodly number of years of experience and a degree or two to top it all off.
We need "good coders" and "great hackers" who are motivated, flexible and resourceful. We need people who are not afraid to explore new technologies and learn on the job. We want people who code as a hobby.
You will be working directly with our CTO. He has been coding for 8 years and is as geeky as you can get. You will be responsible for maintaining and upgrading the existing system. You will also have the opportunity to learn new technologies and build new products that will have significant impact on the company.
We’re looking for full-time people based in Singapore but will consider other arrangements (part-time / project-based / freelance etc.)
