I reached out to the owner through the Adorable site, and they very promptly invited me into their office for a discussion about what I'm looking for in my career. After I left, I was told that there wasn't an immediate need for hiring but I would be in mind should the opportunity come around. Overall, it was great to network.
About a week later I heard back that a position opened up, so I came in to get an overview of what they needed. I was told I started at X amount and could ask for a raise after one year; according to Adorable, this was a policy of some kind (even though I'm pretty sure it isn't).
The offer was very generous and knowing a few people in the company already, I excitedly joined.
