Tuesday, March 11th, 2008The Omniture UI team is growing continually, and we’re always looking to get some talented people on-board. It seems the UI designer is one of the most difficult to find.

And someone who’s willing to work in Orem, Utah. (Utah rocks!)
Here’s the latest job description we’re getting out there for a new hire. If you’ve got questions about the position or what it’s like to work at Omniture, drop me a line.
