Hakka Labs (AI Conference) | Dir of Marketing | REMOTE | Full time | http://dataengconf.com
Hakka Labs is looking for a Director of Marketing to be responsible for all marketing efforts across the Hakka Labs network internationally. Our flagship event is DataEngConf, a deeply technical 2-day, multi-track conference at the intersection of data engineering, data science and AI.
You must have a background in marketing of a technical product geared towards software engineers. Help us grow our existing conferences globally - we're launched in SF and NYC, and adding Barcelona/Europe and China next.
Yes, it's true - we have a community built around our product, and oftentimes communities want to help/support each other. So I let our users know that we were on HN since it's an opportunity for them to make the platform stronger by adding many more awesome engineers to get matched to.
Believe me, you don't need to read his book to simply participate in commerce. Without a doubt, this book was one of the most moving memoirs I've ever read. Very highly recommended. The bonus is that he's an incredible writer.
Hi Andrew, I'm the founder of Hakka Labs. We had permission from the SFRails meetup orgs to record/post the talk, but I honestly apologize if this was unknown to you. We don't consider this 'our' content in any way, and we're happy to make it freely available for the benefit of engineers everywhere.
Appreciate all the data packed into this post. There are some amazing stats here. Agree that we definitely need this type of clarity to increase awareness and generate dialogue.
The format of this vid is interesting to me. We've played different media formats for our engineering talks at g33ktalk (audio, video, slides and sometimes screencaps/demos) and it's been somewhat challenging to find the best format. Of course, ultimately it depends heavily on an individual user's prefs. meaning there's no perfect answer.
I find this format compelling since it's relatively short (19 mins) has high quality audio, and the only visuals are the main points represented as motion graphics.
It's very true. Many times orgs write generic, catch-all engineering job specs. Or they say they're looking for any 'good' engineer.
They think this is a good idea since it seems to apply to the broadest number of candidates. But it totally backfires - no one gets excited about the role since it's not targeted at anyone.
Good comment, thanks. And appreciate the connection with professional networking.
As a young engineer, it was very hard for me to come to understand the value of building my network. I guess when there's so many horrible 'networking' events out there (just like 'bad' marketing), it takes some time for one to overcome an adverse knee-jerk reaction and really apprehend the value.
I couldn't agree more. Engineers are loathe to enter into a traditional recruiting process (i.e. go in through the front door) when they have so many options out there.
It's far more attractive if they can 'window shop' and get a true sense for your team/culture/challenges without kicking off a gauntlet of interviews for them to learn the same stuff.
Obviously, interviews are still important for the hiring team, but it's time to make the overall process better (and more front-loaded with the company's engineering project info) for the engineer candidates.
