This is a unique combination of technical, analytical, and marketing expertise. You need to have a great attitude, be a lifelong learner, and love to measure things.

Essential Requirements
Experience:
- You have a strong understanding of how websites work and have even put together a rudimentary -- or advanced one of your own.
- You are pretty good with HTML and/or JavaScript or if not, with another programming language that will help make learning js a breeze -- any regex experience holds a lot of weight.
- You're always checking out the latest tech trends on the Internet and implementing them just to see how they work.
- You love to measure things.
- You're a lifelong learner with an incredible "can do" attitude and a lot of curiosity.
