Job Description

42 is an end-to-end analytics stack for retailers and brands!

Whether it is store managers running A/B tests on new product placement, CEOs
looking at their global store performance, or merchandisers planning the next
season, our platform enables retailers and brands to get instant visibility in
their business.

The majority of retailers do not have the in-house expertise to spin up data
infrastructure. Instead, they piece together reports in excel on a daily
basis. This works fine for small eCommerce brands, but not for retailers in
the $50M-$5B range. That is where we come in.

**Challenges**

* Automating the merging of datasets across similar data sources
* Processing human-generated datasets
* Creating connectors that are reusable but can be extended to add customer-specific tweaks
* Generalizing new features so that they work with all of our customers and can support many use cases

**Sample projects working at 42**

* Expose our unified data warehouse API to the world
* Create a metric notification system (e.g. push out-of-stock alerts to Zapier)
* Hook up our authentication system to user directories of our customers
* Spin up an image resizing and caching proxy
* Build a portal to allow users to monitor the health of their data sources
* GPT-4 + 42 =?

* can overlap ~4hrs with San Francisco Timezone (Pacific Time)
* can work well as part of a fast-paced remote-first startup
* is self-motivated, resourceful and can get things done, even at times with minimal direction
* is familiar with SQL and data modeling
* is familiar with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP
* is passionate about eliminating technical debt

**What we provide**

* Competitive salary and equity package
* Company games every 4-6 weeks, in-person meetup every 4-6 months
