Although we now know that the premise behind alchemy (turning common metals into precious metals like gold or silver) is impossible, the scientific endeavors of alchemists from centuries past are responsible for much of our understanding of inorganic chemistry today. Adchemy is a Redwood City, CA based startup that has taken a page out of the alchemists’ books. They think that with a lot of scientific research, they can turn online advertising into gold. Some may say that Google has already done that, but Adchemy wants to do it better. They say that they’re “the first company to truly combine data on the Web with advanced scientific algorithms to give marketers powerful products designed to increase qualified users and reduce acquisition costs.” It’s hard to say whether their research has generated any gold yet, but their potential certainly has – they’ve raised $27 million in venture capital funding. Hopefully there’s more to Adchemy than that, which is why we think that you might want to check out their jobs.

Turning Ads into Gold

I wish that I could tell you more about what Adchemy does, but it seems that most of what they’re doing is high tech and highly secret. What I can tell you is that they’ve focused on building a flagship product called “Adchemy Actions™” which is currently focused on the career education and mortgage industries. There’s a lot of science and analytics behind what they do, so they’re looking for really smart people to join their team. Most of their jobs require an extremely strong technical background with advanced degrees, but there are a couple of positions that might be suitable for new grads. These include Marketing Campaign Analyst, Java Engineer, Software Engineer, and Research Analyst. It looks like there’s a lot of analysis going on at Alchemy.
