We value positive attitudes and professionals who can successfully navigate through ambiguous and challenging situations. Candidates are required to be on-site in our Emeryville offices, as there is a high degree of interaction between all parts of the business.

About the Company:
Pictopia.com, located in Emeryville, California, provides highest quality photo prints to consumers via purchases made at its own web site and at the sites of its partners. Over 800 of the world’s top media organizations including National Geographic, The US National Archives, The Washington Post, AOL and Yahoo, The Associated Press and AFP, The NBA and MLB, have partnered with Pictopia to monetize their vast image holdings via sales to the public. By taking the partners' image archives and feeds direct to the public, Pictopia creates brand-promotion opportunities and revenue streams that have not previously existed. As an example of how we work today, if you are browsing the Washington Post web-site and see a picture you want to own for yourself, when you click to “buy” the picture, it takes you to our web-site and we handle all the transaction order and fulfillment.
We are a privately funded entrepreneurial venture which has recently made a strategic and management restructuring. At this new stage of our growth, we are very excited to be advancing to the next level in our company’s development!
Culture:
At Pictopia we have a relaxed, intimate and informal environment. As a growing dot com we work hard but like to have fun doing it. Every team member is a valuable contributor to achieving the company’s objectives. Our flat corporate hierarchy supports team players, not strong egos.
