Do you love data? Are you a super geeky techie nerd? Are you focused on user experience and usability? At Nine By Blue, we are looking for people with super fantastical (yes, that is too a word) technical or marketing talents to help us change the world of marketing.
Remember the original Mario Brothers? Those crazy cartoon crocodiles that you had to dodge and jump on rolling logs and then you had to somehow jump across the street with 18-wheelers trying to squash you? Or maybe that last one was Frogger. Anyway. If you thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment like that, this role may be for you.
You walk by a chalkboard with a crazy mathematical equation written all over it. You stay up all night trying to solve it. Ben Affleck buys you a beer. OK, we’re not saying working with us is like a Matt Damon movie, particularly because after you solve that problem, another one is likely just around the corner. Although we will buy you beer if you like. But you love diving into complex technical issues and finding solutions, come talk to us.
We all have heroes. Some of us look up to great world leaders who work endlessly for peace and global advancement. Others admire strong athletes who persevere through pain and hardship. Your hero is Avinash Kaushik. Or Jeff Atwood.
You open Firebug and start debugging when a random web page doesn’t load quite right, even though originally you were just looking for some cute pictures of cats.
Sure, it’s great if you have experience with search engine optimization, but it’s more important that you know web analytics data inside and out. That you can look at a web site or a product through the eyes of the audience. That you want to transform marketing.
But what specifically, you ask, would you be getting yourself into? Every day is different. We help organizations, big and small, fix their technical infrastructure, build what their audiences want, meet people where they are. We look at a lot of data. We prioritize. We think long term strategy is more important than short term gains. We provide education and training and tools to help these organizations make all of this just part of what they do.
You’ll start with contracting part or full time, potentially transitioning to a full-time permanent position.
If this sounds like you, send an email to jobs@ninebyblue.com. Include your resume and whether you think Frogger was a better game than Super Mario Brothers. (Choose wisely.)
If you’re at SMX West this week in San Jose, we’d love to talk to you. Send an email and we’ll take it from there.
