Harvest Expert
DESCRIPTION
Disclaimer: Don't judge us too quickly! We've made some intentional typos and grammatical errors in this job post. See our "When You Apply" section for more info.
About Harvest
Harvest is an independent software company making tools that help businesses run more smoothly. For the past 13 years, our customers have relied on our products as a critical part of their day-to-day operations. They’re the reason we’re still in business and we owe it to them to deliver legendary support, delivered by our Harvest Experts: wicked-smart human being, empathetic problem-solvers, and patient troubleshooters.
The Harvest team started as a team of 3 and grew slowly to today’s current total of 55 lovely faces. Though we have an office in NYC, we hire the best people for the job no matter where they may call home. We work hard to make sure everyone feels included and heard. And we offer great benefits, including a profit-sharing bonus, a generous vacation policy, and much more.
---------
What’s the Job, and Why Is It So Gosh-Darned Great?
As an Expert, you’ll spend your days helping our customers make the most of their time by getting the most out of our products. We’re the heroes on the frontline and have a deep understanding of our products and our customers. You’ll also be a critical partner to our developers to help them understand where customers are having issues. To deliver the fast, comprehensive, and personal support our customers expect (and deserve), you’ll need to be thoughtful, curious, and a real stickler for details.
There’s more below on the nitty-gritty of the role, but here’s the short version:
- You’ll love this job if you are energetically curious and delighted to help others.
- We’ll love you if your a quick learner who’s also enthusiastic, kind, and so reliable that we can set our watches by how regularly you kick ass.
Not to brag, ahem, but this is a really awesome, full-time job. The benefits are great, the working arrangements are flexible, and your coworkers are all crazy-smart and kind.
Who should apply?
You, probably.
You don’t need a background in tech. You just need to be kind, curious, and a crazy-good writer. What makes our team great are the unique experiences and perspectives each of us brings to the table. Our customers aren’t all the same, so why should we be? If your empathy muscles are strong and your comma splice game is locked down, you belong here.
Don’t believe me? Here’s proof that you don’t need to know the difference between JavaScript and Python (but think they might be related to coffee beans and giant snakes that eat people). Our previous hires for the role include a dog walker, a German translator, an art curator, and a Tiffany. Tiffany defies description.
One more thing, and this is a big deal: if you are a member of a group that is historically underrepresented and disadvantaged in tech (and society generally, tbh), please know that we welcome your application with open and enthusiastically-waving arms. We want to meet you!
And while we’re on the topic, if you don’t celebrate people’s differences and don’t value the contributions of those who don’t look, sound, or act like you, Harvest isn’t going to be a good fit. When we come to work, we bring our full selves because that contributes to both the vibrancy and richness of our team. So if you want to work here, you should be actively excited about working with a group of people who strive to be inclusive.
What will your life be like? (SPOILERS: pretty great, but not always a piece of cake)
- You’ll learn the ins and outs of Harvest, Harvest Forecast, and are associated apps and integrations through our intensive training program. You’ll become a true Harvest expert (see what we did there?).
- You’ll answer email questions and phone calls for the vast majority of your day. That’s the job, mostly. We maintain an industry-leading average response time, with an emphasis on quality rather than quantity of tickets resolved. It’s troubleshooting, bug investigation, teaching, and occasional therapy (“I believe in you!”).
- You’ll work alongside our developers to figure out thorny problems, and you’ll help our customers through those tricky periods when things don’t work quite right.
- You’ll build our customer base by using your presentation skills to host webinars for and answer questions from prospective Harvest customers.
- Once you’ve mastered the software and can answer tickets like a pro (or should we say—like an expert. Gosh, it never gets old!), you’ll have the opportunity to pursue support-related projects on the Expert Team. There are plenty of projects to keep your juices flowing—whether you’re interested in writing documentation, making handy GIFs, or trying something totally new, there’s room to explore!
- You’ll be a great human person, and treat our customers with sincerity, kindness, and respect. You’ll create new ways to impress, delight, and surprise them!
- You’ll share your favorite GIFs of dogs doing stuff in Slack. And kittens. And trash pandas...
REQUIREMENTS
- You’re an exceptional communicator and you treat people kindly. You can gracefully break down, solve, and explain, even the most complex problems. Listening, talking, and working with people makes you happy.
- Your writing skills are flawless. We mean it. You must have a savvy style and a firm grip on grammar.
- You’re a hard worker with a history of getting things done carefully and efficiently. You’re thorough—no detail go unnoticed.
- You’re self-motivated, but also enjoy contributing to a team.
- You can de-escalate a tense situation with ease and grace—working through a tough issue or bug with an upset customer not only doesn’t scare you, it’s a challenge you’re eager to take on.
- You don’t mind doing the same thing most days. You’re also comfortable jumping onto a side project when the occasion arises and aren’t scared to tackle the new and unknown.
- You’re patient and enjoy solving tough problems, and you find helping people fix those problems rewarding.
- You are able to work full-time, Monday-Friday for one of two shifts:
- 8am - 4pm EST
- 11am - 7pm EST (8am - 4pm PST, 9am - 5pm MST, 10am - 6pm CST)
When You Apply
- Tell us a bit about yourself and why you you’d make a great Harvest Expert.
- Let us know what working hours you are able to commit to (and in what timezone).
- You’re awesome and can work anywhere… why Harvest?
- Harvest HQ is home to a record player. What album would you contribute to our vinyl collection?
- We made six grammatical mistakes or typos in this job post. Be sure to let us know what they are!
Please apply by March 8, 2019, for consideration in this round of hiring.

Release Manager (Ruby/Python/React) - Small Team - 100% Remote, Flexible Hours
Analytics Fire builds custom software for the solar power industry. We’re looking for a collaborative but hands-on Release Manager to help us scale our execution to support additional new high-tech sectors.
Analytics Fire is a deeply technical engineering organization. Most of us are software engineers and spend the majority of our time on heads down engineering activities like coding. Our goal in creating this position is to expand our small client-facing team with a unique person that has both the personality and the technical skillset to help guide software releases through planning, development, deployment, release, and DevOps processes.
This position is similar to that of a technical Program Manager, but you will be much more involved in the technical details and hurdles around software deployments and releases than a traditional Project Manager would be. Our ideal candidate is a current or former Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer that is willing to be trained in formal Program Management processes (or has already been trained in formal Program Management processes).
As a small company, Analytics Fire is able to tailor roles around the strengths of our individual team members. We will tailor this role to your specific technical background. However, it is a hard requirement that you are able to support the following 3 types of responsibilities:
- (a) Represent Analytics Fire software engineering teams in client-facing interactions (clarifying requirements, negotiating technical approaches, reporting on status, etc).
- (b) Technical writing responsibilities such as documenting requirements, project plans, system architecture, etc.
- (c) Making meaningful contributions to the execution of complex software projects.
For reference, here is a list of some technologies we are currently actively using on a day-to-day basis:
- JavaScript: React / Angular / Typescript / GraphQL
- Back-end: Ruby / Python / Node
- Embedded (IoT): C, Embedded Linux, MQTT
- Embedded (robotics): C/C++, ROS
- Modern software techniques: RESTful APIs, SOA, PaaS, etc
- Agile collaboration and DevOps tools: Github, Trello, Slack, Chef, Ansible, Docker, Vagrant, etc
- Other technologies we are currently building with: AWS, GCP, TensorFlow, OpenCV, Yocto, Salesforce platform, iOS, ARKit
Description of responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain well-coordinated relationships with key internal and client-side stakeholders to help drive decision making around production software releases and DevOps.
- Participate in collaborative planning discussions and technical decision making early in the project lifecycle to ensure that key decisions are made with reliability, testability, and DevOps in mind.
- Monitor and oversee coordination, integration, flow of development, testing, and deployment around multiple parallel projects and threads of engineering execution.
- Drive planning and delivery of high quality software releases:
- Manage change control process during releases
- Continuously improve company release processes
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks and remove obstacles to releases
This is a remote position but is only open to candidates living in the US or Canada. (Note: we may be open to US or Canadian citizens living abroad in US-overlapping time zones on a case by case basis.) We’re flexible about location and hours. We’re a really great match for candidate who wants to work hard on interesting projects, while also having flexibility around time and geography.
Skills & Requirements
“Must have” requirements:
- Soft skills necessary to develop and maintain well-coordinated relationships with key internal and client-side stakeholders to help drive decision making around production software releases and DevOps.
- 3+ years hands experience as a full stack Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer, ideally within a commercial startup environment.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

You’ll be working on the Platform team, building and maintaining our customer facing application, and tools to make the world a better place for web crawler developers.

At the same time, you’ll be working to iterate quickly on testing new opportunities to help determine which are worth continued investment.

Finally, being a completely remote company with team members in many different time zones, you’ll excel in this role as an independent thinker that can always find a way to move projects forward, even if you might be the only team member online at that time

You must have proven sales experience in closing custom web and mobile development projects in the US.
Hello, thank you for checking out our post. We are not hiring an employee we are searching for a person to work as our partner to support our ability to generate more leads that turn into closed deals and generate software sales income. You are a generator.
I have existing clients I need to hand off to pursue this model full time. I have one person in Boulder already with a full client list. This is a unique opportunity.
"If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together"
Potential African Proverb
This position will start ASAP. We currently have over a dozen clients. And we have more interested, this is where you come in. You will handle five of our clients and run this as your own business inside the system we have built.
A bit about me:
I live a mindful life and have a strong commitment to my spiritual practices and inner work. This is a startup and I believe this is a spiritual path. I consciously co-parent two teenage boys and practice yoga/workout daily. I believe in family, authentic relating, evolved economics, finding one's unique path, being grounded, abundance and flow. I am an entrepreneur, salesperson and creative. Here is my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briantsuchiya/
A bit about you:
You first and foremost are doing your inner work. You have a similar lifestyle and our values align. I care most about who you are as a person.
You must have experience with LinkedIn, email campaigns, content writing and web and mobile software sales. Software lead gen and sales background is required.
In your recent work history you have demonstrable success in web and mobile software revenue generation. You thrive off of creating leads, engaging and closing deals for our clients. You are creative and systems driven. You have amazing oral and written communication skills. We have a strong sales and marketing foundation. You own a Mac in good working order, as all of our systems are Mac. You have a suitable home office, with Vonage compatible modem on your Internet service and you will need a printer.
Your Role:
We have clients that want us to sell lots of software development for them in the US. Your focus is to generate leads for them using the system we have developed and then closing the sales qualified leads you generate. This is fulltime and flexible work from home opportunity. You will create all campaigns for up to 5 initial clients, manage a small offshore lead gen team, create reporting and metrics for our clients and sell every lead you generate or they provide. For our clients we are currently doing prospect list generation, cold emails, target emails, LinkedIn messaging, content creation and all sales activities from initial call through contract with some light account management. It is a very diverse day with lots of different types of activities.
Some tasks will be to send out emails, manage your appointments, enter data into CRMs, create reports for our clients and weekly lead gen meetings. We work in multiple CRMS, like Hubspot, Pipedrive, Zoho and Highrise with our clients. Your core skills are lead generating and sales!
Your Compensation:
You will be paid as a contractor on a 1099 and will have total flexibility with your hours and how you generate leads and sell for our clients. You will be paid from the base revenue we charge for lead generation and we have no guarantees. You only earn from what your clients pay us.
You can expect a base of around $6000/mo and your big incentive is commission for deals you close. This is how we all ultimately make money, generating software sales for our clients.
You will manage a Pod, each Pod starts off with 5 initial lead generation clients that we work together to sign. We set up all the systems, train you on the all systems and then you run your business. You are responsible for your training time plan the initial 6 weeks as training and this is without pay.
We charge $2450 per month for lead generation services and we get 10 to 20% commission on payments made on software contracts.

Your desire and drive should get you to six figures in the first 15 months!
Our Company:
We sell custom web and mobile development to US and Canadian customers for offshore and nearshore companies. Our clients whom we vet and select pay us commission on closed deals and pay monthly for lead generation services. Our clients hire us to be their sales and marketing US based office.
We are working with companies in India, Central/Eastern Europe and LatAm. We sell all major technology stacks, RoR, Python, Java, PHP, .NET and Mobile.
This opportunity is to support our ability to spend as much time as we possibly can in lead generation, lead conversion and sales for our clients. Ultimately talking with customers in the US and Canada about their software projects, this is how we create value for our clients and generate revenue.
This is a unique opportunity and will require you to be full time to join us. We care about who you are as a person first and then we will look at what you have done professionally.
We have a substantial database of Indian, Central/Eastern European and Central/South American companies. We have the systems, deck, contract, experience, success stories, the credibility and the market knowledge. We will teach you everything we do to help you recruit your clients and to sell software in the US.
I started with one sales client who generated lots of quality leads. I worked exclusively and part time maybe 15 hrs a week on average. Here are the numbers I produced for Idyllic.
2014 $147,648 exclusively for Idyllic sold $700K
2015 $202,982 exclusively for Idyllic sold $1.1M

Senior backend engineer (Java/Python/Postgres/AWS)
Buildings are responsible for 40% of the world’s energy footprint. A typical building contains thousands of pieces of equipment, sensors, and interconnections. Gridium makes software that helps people run their buildings better, at lower cost and with less energy.
We’re looking for a US-based engineer to design, develop, and scale our backend services. At Gridium we manage quite a bit of data, pouring in daily from hundreds of thousands of electric and gas meters. We need help gathering data, running analytics, and making the results available to our web applications. That’s where you come in.
Our stack lives on AWS and includes Docker, Postgres, Java, Python, and Ember.js. For this role, we’re looking for someone with strong Java, Python, and relational database experience. You’ll take ownership of a large, complex Java code base supporting mission-critical production workloads. At the same time, you’ll participate in evolving our system for better resiliency, scalability, and transparency.
You should be comfortable with consuming 3rd party APIs, ETL processes, data validation, and debugging across multiple systems. You should be able to make good decisions (and explain them!) about when to build something custom vs taking advantage of AWS and/or open source options.
We are a small team, and you should expect to work closely with both engineers and non-technical staff. We need someone who is self-directed and a great problem-solver, but also able to ask good questions and collaborate effectively with teammates. For example, you might trace a data issue from a 3rd party API to a Java parsing task to a relational database, then explain what’s wrong and how to fix it.
- Do you enjoy a fast-moving startup environment?
- Are you a wizard at debugging services with lots of moving parts?
- Are you excited about what you can do with AWS products and services?
- Are you obsessed with data, and experienced with data modeling?
- Do you want to truly own the systems you work on?
- Are you comfortable working in a remote environment?
If so, Gridium is the place for you.
Requirements
You must have strong experience with Java, Python, and relational databases.
You must currently live in, and have the legal right to work in, the United States. You must be available to travel for four days each quarter.
