Heya :) Lemme just take all your questions, one-by-one.

I am full time, I am remote, and I'm not listed on any of the staff teams because I've been a bit overwhelmed with all the "week one" stuff to get over there and list myself.

As to how I got the job, well, I suppose Wikia must be hard-up for staff these days, so I got in by the skin of my teeth. :) No, seriously, it was just the same way that I've gotten any job: an interview followed by an offer. I just happened to be very lucky.  The job they were advertising fit my skill set.  There was no magic involved. Well, aside from that incantation I had someone in New Orleans do for me.

The position is called SpecOps, a sub-division of the Community Development team. I help wiki communities with ... whatever they need help with. But mostly it's questions of site design, and to some extent, content focus. And yes, I've already been dealing directly with users. After all, the first word in "Community Development" is ... well, you get the point. :)
