We talked about ComiXology ramping up their employee numbers recently. The digital comic book distributor and publisher bought by Amazon (we told you about that first too) looks to be moving into a new level of size, scope and ambition. For which it needs boots on the ground.

And at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle this weekend, they are hiring. At the panels, at the parties, they will be looking to make connections, take CVs, and come back with a big list of names… and the drinks (and t-shirts) are on them on Saturday night.

ComiXology will be hosting an open party with free drink, limited edition t-shirts and personal access to comiXology's CEO and co-founder David Steinberger, CTO Jeff DiBartolomeo, and other comiXologists to talk about jobs at the company.

If free drinks aren't your thing, comiXology will be hosting a number of panels for comic fans and job seekers alike, as well as giving away Kindle Fires to the best questions asked.

See anything you fancy? Here's where you'll need to be.
