We’ve Added Some Lovely New Shoes to Our DomainTools Roster!

May 27th, 2011 Comments off

This week, we are happy to introduce you to two of the newest members that have joined the DomainTools team! They’e added some wonderful new energy and expertise to our office and we’re excited to have them on board.

Welcome, Kirsten and Jason!

Kirsten, our new controller, comes from a family of accountants so there was little surprise when she spent the first 10 years of her career at Ernst and Young handling increasingly senior accounting engagements at a number of local companies such as drugstore.comdrugstore.com. She is a native of the Seattle area and a University of Washington graduate, and actually lives on the same street as her parents!

Jason, our new engineer, has extensive experience with Python, Web Applications and API’s. He  comes to us from New Zealand by way of Melbourne and London. Previously, Jason was with Lexis Nexis in Bellevue,  about 15-20 minutes away from Seattle (otherwise known as “the east side” to us Seattleites). Jason’s wife is a native of Seattle and they’ll be welcoming their first child this year. We plan to get the most out of Jason before he starts averaging about 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep!

If you don’t know why we are featuring shoes on this blog post, that means that you probably haven’t checked out the DomainTools ‘About Us’ page. Check it out here to find out more about our team, the types of shoes we like to wear, and what we like to do in our spare time. And on that note, we still have 5 open positions if you know of anyone who might be interested in joining DomainTools. Our positions range from User Experience Design and SEO & Analytics Management to Software Engineering and Engineering Management.

Here is a quick Twitter or Facebook announcement that you can copy and paste to spread the word:

DomainTools INTA Recap

May 20th, 2011 Comments off

We just got back from the International Trademark Association (INTA) conference in San Francisco! It ran May 14-18 and we had a great time meeting a good number of the 8,500 attendees from 140 countries. Each day, had engaging conversations about the industry, DomainTools, and it was awesome to see customers come up and introduce themselves with “We use you guys all the time”. For us, it was also enriching to hear about specific anecdotes about how specific tools like Reverse Whois, Trademark Alert, Whois, etc. are being leveraged. Be sure to read our press release about our INTA attendance if you haven’t seen it yet.

Here is a picture of our booth and staff before the exhibition hall flood gates opened the first day.

In just a few weeks, we will be showcasing DomainTools once again – this time at SMX Advanced in Seattle, June 7-8. If any of you SEO and Analytics gurus are in town, be sure to stop by booth #23 to say hello! By the way, DomainTools is looking to add an SEO and Analytics Manager to our incredible team! If you are interested or know of anyone with this expertise, feel free to read the full job description here.
