    Job Description

    THE COMPANY: BRAINJOLT (brainjoltmedia.com)

    About Brainjolt:

    We’re a small, distributed team of learners, hackers, and doers who combine a metric ton of data science and market automation with a dash of creativity in order to entertain hundreds of millions of people a month.

    “Do more with less” is our constant mantra. So we put all of our energy into only two sites. And look at that — they’re two of the biggest sites in the US: 22words.com and Magiquiz.com. Across these two sites and various other social media channels on Snapchat, Tiktok, Instagram and more, our stories and quizzes reach hundreds of millions of people.

    Expectations for All Brainjolt Team Members:

    We have high expectations, we change course constantly, we iterate quickly to beat yesterday's results while keeping an eye towards the future, and the problems are challenging to put it lightly. We are also pragmatic to the core. Idealism comes here to die. If you’re extremely organized…if you thrive under pressure…if your attention to detail borders on perfectionism...if you know how to push yourself and others...if you’re a skeptic but not a naysayer…[takes a deep breath and keeps going] if you're almost as adaptable as Mother Nature herself...and if you’ve read this lengthy, unexpected, oddly placed warning and still want to talk to us… we’d love to hear from you.
