Adrianna TanIβll keep posting this until I find a great person to come be my manager: the Monterey bay aquarium is looking for its next VP of Technology!
Sindarina, Edge Case Detective
Katrien M Michiels@sindarina @skinnylatte that joke is better in Dutch: Fish are "vissen", which in some dialects sounds exactly like we say "vice": both would be pronounces something like "vee-suh", with quite a short "ee".
@kmmich @skinnylatte Well, yes, but ...
Als je zoveel woorden nodig hebt om het uit te leggen dan doet dat toch wel iets af aan de waarde van de meme, en dat is waarom ik 'm maar gewoon in het Engels heb gehouden π
@sindarina I agree, but I also think @skinnylatte might appreciate the finesses of foreign laguage pronunciation to feel a joke a bit better :)
keeps vis.social running@skinnylatte so tempted....but I'm busy.
@skinnylatte seriously, it seems like a dream job!
And having you on my team?!!! Such a dream!
And yes, I'm tempted. But I'm busy :)
Thomas Sturm@skinnylatte I don't have half the qualifications this job would require, but it sounds like an absolute dream job.
Joseph A di Paolantonio@skinnylatte since this VP job reports to the Chief Marketing Officer, I forwarded this to a CMO friend to see if they might know someone who might be interested. Our friend has worked for several OSS, data management and analytics, and [not really but the marketing hype says] AI companies in the Bay Area. @czds and I first met him, OMG, twenty years ago, and he and his family have become good friends since. Good guy who has hired a lot of great people.
@jadp @skinnylatte @czds I'm curious why the VP of Tech would report to the CMO. Is that a common thing?
mahadevank@skinnylatte wish it was fully remote and international - I'm looking out for tech roles in real problem areas that matter today like Climate Change
Susanna the Artist π»@skinnylatte Wow, what a great place to work!
Flesh & bone by the telephone@skinnylatte That sounds like a fun job. I wish I was qualified.
Lazarou Monkey Terror πππ@skinnylatte a noble quest!
cubeos@skinnylatte What a great position, just on the wrong part of the Earth. I used to work with Antje in Bremen about 20 years ago. https://www.mbari.org/person/antje-boetius/
@cubeos nice! she just moved here :)
ππ€ππ π¨ππ£π¨ π¨ππ§ππ@skinnylatte Ah crud, if that was entirely remote, I would love to throw my resume in the ring for that position. I do have a couple of friends in the bay area who might be interested though. Iβll send the job posting their way.
Denton GentrySo... I submitted an application, especially because of the amazing experiences you've posted about this year. We've been aquarium members for some time β eldest sprog is VERY ENTHUSED about Octopodes, and now studying biosystems engineering.
I've worked in and volunteered in climate change related nonprofits/NGOs for some years, and also worked in the more traditional Tech industry.
Anyway, thank you for posting everything you do. It is inspiring.
John Gordon π·@skinnylatte Very interesting. Bit of a drive from here for the two days a week, but I could make that work I thinkβ¦
@Bluedonkey we could carpool (youβd drive, Iβd.. keep you company).
Joshua Graves@skinnylatte I seriously would love it but is there remote flexibility? Iβm waaay down south in CA
Patrick Hadfield@skinnylatte I'm sure you'd get a better response if you included "whale watching whenever you want"...!
