Local tech trailblazers share insights about building satisfying careers in unexpected places.

EUGENE, OR, May 21, 2019 — Some of the hottest tech jobs remain under the radar. Ultra Tech Jobs shines a light on emerging roles in technology, offering an insider’s view of how to make it in specialized jobs in high-growth fields such as biotechnology, remote sensing and geospatial data, civic tech, and information security.

The event will be held on May 29, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at Oregon Electric Station (27 E 5th Ave. in Eugene). Tickets are only $3 and are available with registration at bit.ly/ultratech2019.

Ultra Tech Jobs will feature a panel discussion moderated by Shula Jaron, VP of Business Development at NemaMetrix, a fast-growing biotech company founded and headquartered in Eugene. Panelists are:

  • Camille Westlake, Program Manager of Strategy and Innovation at Quantum Spatial
  • Jessa Reed, Information Security Analyst at Oregon Community Credit Union
  • Diana Smith, Programmer Analyst at Lane County

The panel discussion will be followed by interactive breakout discussions facilitated by the panelists and other experts in off-the-beaten-path tech jobs, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and get advice.

“The stereotypical tech job is a software developer in a tech startup. But the opportunities are so much broader,” said Redefining Women in Tech co-founder Lauren Jerome. “People are building rewarding careers using technology to cure diseases, protect the integrity of our financial institutions, monitor critical infrastructure, guard our privacy, and address pressing community needs.”
