The PyImageSearch blog has grown _a lot_ since I published that first post back in January 2014. It’s been an incredible journey and I have you, the reader, to thank for all the support over the past 2.5 years.

However, due to the whirlwind growth of PyImageSearch, **I now receive _100+ emails_ per day** — and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t keep up with them all.

Believe it or not, I have been the _only employee_ of PyImageSearch for the past 2.5 years — and I’ve _personally_ answered _each and every_ email I’ve received during that time.

**Interacting with you is honestly one of the highlights of my day.**

For example:

Have you emailed me a question, no matter how basic or advanced, regarding computer vision?

**_Yep, I answered it._**

Did you email me, asking about _[Practical Python and OpenCV](https://pyimagesearch.com/practical-python-opencv/)_? Or inquiring regarding the [PyImageSearch Gurus course](https://pyimagesearch.com/pyimagesearch-gurus/)?

**_I was the one who responded._**

Did you need technical support of some kind?

**_I was there offer assistance._**

But due to the volume, it has gotten to the point where **_I need a correspondence coordinator_** to come in and help me:

1.  Prioritize and triage emails and inquiries.
2.  Answer general questions and comments regarding content on the PyImageSearch blog.
3.  Point readers in the right direction if they have a question you can answer.
4.  Categorize more advanced questions/business inquiries that you cannot answer for me to personally respond to.

**In short, the primary role of this job consists of two elements:**

1.  Help me answer questions regarding computer vision and OpenCV.
2.  Categorize incoming emails and questions, so I have a _clear, prioritized_ view when I login to respond.

This will help me serve the PyImageSearch community even more, since I’ll be able to focus on the tasks that specifically need my experience and expertise.

2.  You want to work with a **successful entrepreneur** in a **small company** — and help shape the future of PyImageSearch.

Taking this job is _more_ than answering questions regarding computer vision, image processing, and OpenCV. It’s a chance to _work with me_ and _learn from me_. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur yourself to apply for this job, but I would expect that you’re interested (at some level) in startups and small business.

**I’ll also be asking you to answer a few sample emails to get a feel for your writing style and computer vision/OpenCV knowledge.** Don’t worry, there aren’t any “right” or “wrong” responses to these examples — I just need to get a feeling of how you write and interact with others. **If you applied, be sure to keep an eye on your inbox for this next series of emails!**

Hi there, I’m Adrian Rosebrock, PhD. All too often I see developers, students, and researchers wasting their time, studying the wrong things, and generally struggling to get started with Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV. I created this website to show you what I believe is the best possible way to get your start.
