- nedwin 14y agoWhy is this getting downvote?
- jarek 14y agoIs there any particular reason you have positions with "engineer" in title that have nothing to do with even the most watered-down meaning of engineering? I'm looking at Happiness Engineer in particular. I realize tech support isn't the most glamorous of titles, but it's at least somewhat descriptive. Similarly, Account Engineer is a client-facing sales position with no technical component.
- jblz 14y agoMany Happiness Engineers write significant amounts code as well as respond to customer requests. Also, much of what we do (as a company) is data-driven. Since we apply scientific methodology to our support and CRM systems & processes, I think it works. That being said, our job titles aren't exactly hard and fast representations of what we do day-to-day. Check out the subtitles here for examples: http://automattic.com/about/ http://automattic.com/about/
- jarek 14y agoUnderstood on the happiness engineering role. Don't get me wrong, I think you can give yourselves any title you want, but when listing job postings you're just creating barriers by using non-descriptive, non-standard titles. Your potential applicants have to check the job description for "Account Engineer" to see if this is something they would be interested in (for most it won't be), if someone was actually looking for a client/account director role they might not notice this one because of the "engineer" part, and if someone was looking for a blended support/coding role they might miss "Happiness Engineer" while scrolling down the page.
- evansolomon 14y agoLots of things might happen based on any non-standard terminology, but in general it's not something we worry about. It's meant to be a little fun, a little different, and attract people that are a little fun and a little different. If someone wants an account director job at Automattic and never makes their way the Account Engineer link, that's okay. If someone is a bit intrigued by our non-standard titles and looks a bit closer at them because they stand out, that's cool, too. Anything that isn't normal might confuse people. The goal of our jobs page isn't to confuse the fewest people possible.
