geekworkRival IQ, a digital marketing analytics startup that helps companies keep tabs on their competition, announced $1 million in funding last month, including backing from Vulcan Capital, Gravity Ventures, Confluence Capital, Galvanize Ventures, and several Seattle angel investors.

“This is a further vote of confidence in our strategy and market penetration by both existing and new investors,” Rival IQ CEO John Clark told GeekWire. “In addressing challenges that marketers face every day, we have found real resonance with our customer base, and we want to expand our approaches to engage with them as well as add more features to help them be even more successful.”

Rival IQ is looking for a Node.js/JavaScript Software Engineer to help implement those features. The right candidate will have at least three years of relevant experience, strong front-end skills, and a passion for building great products.
