–OK, so I’ve learn like 8 dang pages about you guys. Will you inform me what the precise job is?–

–Wait… What?–
OK positive.Tremendous brief model:
Making our Google Sheets-based ERP much less shitty.
Now we have a ridiculously intensive Google Sheets system for managing many, many, many issues within the firm. Like, you don’t have any thought.
It really works fairly effectively all issues thought-about, however there are issues that could possibly be higher, which we want your assist to resolve.
For instance, now we have a ton of information, and storing tons of information in Google Sheets is roughly the worst. Having extra BigQuery connections can be nice so we are able to retailer extra knowledge and entry it simply.
Or there are legacy processes that require somebody to repeat/paste issues, when it might be trivial to jot down some Apps Script to do it.
There are some processes that we use UiPath to automate, significantly for our Pay-Per-Click on promoting administration system, the place now we have to work together with Amazon quite a bit (however maybe you may determine the way to work together with the API for us…).
Your job might be to enhance the effectivity of current instruments after which develop into one among our software builders to make everybody’s work even higher. We’re consistently doing new issues, so you should have no scarcity of issues to construct.
–Do I want expertise?–

If you happen to aren’t 100% an knowledgeable in one of many issues we work in, that’s possible OK so long as you’re able to studying.
As with all growth, in my humble opinion, the power to make use of a language is a distant second to simply being a superb drawback solver and learner, so so long as you’re good AF (with growth expertise), you may possible qualify for this job.
–Do I want a school diploma?–
You simply must be superior.
–Are there any geographic restrictions?–
So long as you’re in a rustic that doesn’t have lively sanctions from the US authorities, we have an interest. Our founder isn’t recognized for respecting the federal government a lot, however they’ve all of the weapons, so…
–What’s your “tech” stack?–
I really feel slightly embarrassed to name this a tech stack however:
– Google Sheets
– Apps Script
– BigQuery
– UiPath
– AutoHotKey
We’re pot-committed at this level to those options (plus they’re already glorious for us), so we’re most unlikely to change, however it’s attainable that we might add instruments into the combo to reinforce issues.
–Why don’t you simply construct software program?–
We do have a software program group constructing issues (primarily to develop into publicly going through as SaaS merchandise), however we’ll by no means cease utilizing Google Sheets as a result of we practice principally everybody in Google Sheets, so:
1. The iteration and deployment velocity is actually 100-1000x sooner than software program
2. Anybody can construct their very own tooling
3. Anybody can preserve the tooling
–This sounds fairly good, although I’m nonetheless skeptical that this isn’t a pyramid scheme.–
You sound similar to our tax auditor!
–That doesn’t resolve any of my fears, however what do I must do to use?–
Please submit your data on the next web page to use. We promise to reply inside 5-10 enterprise days even when our reply is No.
There might be a number of steps on this course of, FYI, together with an extended written utility, interviews with probably a number of completely different folks, and paid work take a look at(s). Hiring the fitting folks is actually exhausting and really costly if we do it poorly, so now we have to front-load the method. I am sorry about that and thanks for sticking with us.
When you’re in our pipeline although, I’d anticipate supplying you with a closing reply inside a number of weeks, relying on the way it goes. We positively don’t wish to string you alongside, and so long as you do what we ask, we promise to let you know “sure” or “no”, and to not simply ghost you (like all people I match with on Tinder).
