Kristen is an Automattician!

30 May 2015 by kristarella 5 Comments

This month I officially joined the ranks of Automattic!

For those in the know, I am a Happiness Engineer on the Store team. For everyone else, I do support for WordPress.com, mainly for Business plan customers.

I love my new job. Helping people with their websites is what made my blog popular, it’s how my freelance business started, and now I get to do it in an awesome team.

I may post more about what the hiring process was like or other similar things, but I wanted to finally (at the end of my third week) get this announcement out there!
