Print is dead. And even if it’s not, it’s coughing up ink and it won’t return to the glory days of years gone by. You know the world is changing when even DC Comics is putting stuff on the iPad and iPhone. That’s like John McCain having a Twitter feed.

So I was encouraged when I came across these two job listings at Marvel Comics. Both are based in the digital world, which is where the print world is desperately trying to transition.

First up, Marvel is looking for a Senior Web And Mobile Application Developer. Marvel will be looking to you to enhance “its position in the web and mobile marketplace by extending already successful products and spearheading the development of new ones.”

Lots of technical responsibilities will be coming your way and, needless to say, some solid experience is required. But the whole enterprise sounds like a lot of fun and moving Marvel’s characters to a digital playground feels like building the future. Go forth, and let loose the resumes!

The other job Marvel has for you to consider is Web Software Architect to “help define the architecture for Marvel’s interactive digital products, consisting primarily of the Marvel.com collection of web sites and various mobile offerings.” This includes your involvement in the “design and development of cutting-edge web applications.”

Again, lots of technical requirements and impending responsibilities, but you want to be a part of the future of comics, right?

Good luck, job seekers!
