Automattic, the private company behind the blog hosting service WordPress.com, has hired the former director of systems at Vidavee, a company that created a plug-in allowing WordPress.com users to display video on their blogs.
Warwick Poole, on his blog, announced his new job Monday. Poole’s new position at Automattic is as something euphemistically called “Systemologist.”

Cool news, that makes 21 people now that Automattic employs. I’ve sent some questions to him in regards to his role with the company and I hope he responds back.
Its an interesting hire. Also intriguing is there was no public announcement of the hire, meaning one of two things: the job is low level with no strategic significance or Automattic is growing and wants to fly under the public radar.
Either way, I’ll be interested to know what answers you get.
I sent him an email earlier this week and have yet to get in contact with him. Oh well I suppose.
