About SpyFu
You can go to SpyFu.com and type in any domain name and see every keyword they buy on Google Adwords, every keyword they rank on organically, and how their ad copy and search rankings have evolved over the last 11 years. On top of that, our goal is to tell people not just what is going on but how to act. So, we need to figure out which keywords, ads, and content are actually profitable -- and then show that information to our customers in a context that allows them to take action.
It's a fun challenge, and we are the best in the world at what we do.
Based in the Scottsdale Airpark, SpyFu was launched in 2006 and is a bootstrapped, profitable and growing SaaS company.
If you get the job, you'd be the 20th full-time employee (not including the founder). But, that doesn't mean we expect you to give up benefits:
- We offer health benefits through your choice of providers.
- Retirement Plan (401k) with 4% matching.
- You get an office -- with a door.
- Food and beverages are provided. (pretty much name it and it will magically appear)
- We have a commercial-grade automatic espresso machine.
- We play ping pong and even have a ping pong robot. Oh, yeah, and there's a nationally ranked ping pong instructor that comes in to give lessons every Friday.
- Foosball and Xbox One (do you have Rocket League skills?) are also part of the entertainment options.
- There's a masseuse every week. And a hair stylist once a month. Yep.
- Oh, and a boxing instructor 3 days a week.

Compensation
We pay market-competitive salaries.
Equity / Options: Ask about that at the interview, but rest assured there's a nice upside.
Partner: At SpyFu you have the chance to make partner. What that means, is that when you work on a product, and that product is successful, we'll share its profits with you -- as a direct percent. So, the more successful the product is, the more your paycheck goes up every month. So, for example, one of our developers gets a couple percent of SpyFu's revenue because he's written a decent amount of the code. When we launched SpyFu, that accounted for a very small percent of his salary, now it accounts for a very large part of it.
This is a pretty unique compensation option. We've never heard of anyone doing it before, but it's pretty awesome and really connects you to the work you do. The latest release had a higher conversion rate? You paycheck goes up this month.
Summary
At SpyFu, we understand that our people are what makes us awesome, and we invest in getting the right people on our team and keeping them around once they're on board.
You might be waiting for the shoe to drop. We've had people tell us that the job sounds too good to be real, and they almost wrote it off as SPAM. The truth is, this IS in many ways the perfect job. It is real. We are real.
But, to get the job you have to be really, really good. The interview process is the toughest in the valley. But, the cool thing is that once you make it, you realize that every *single* person you work with also had to pass that bar -- which is *awesome*.
