We acquired Keen last December and have been carefully growing the team and getting the product in shape since then. We started with ramping up engineering over the spring/summer and we just finished staffing up our CS org. We've got enough organic demand that a Solutions Architect is our next critical hire (our chief platform engineer and I have been splitting that work but its definitely a full time job at this point).
At Keen the Solutions Architect role is a bit different. Its a highly technical role and you work both pre-sales and on post sale implementation. Our analytics platform provides general purpose building blocks to solve a wide variety of challenges, we rely heavily on discovery and a deep level of analytics expertise to help our customers assemble exactly the solution they need.
What we’re looking for: - Experience in either a Sales or Customer facing engineering role. - Solid understanding of SQL or NoSQL concepts and implementations. - Technical background working with modern web technologies, stacks, and API’s.
You should have some familiarity with one or more of the following: Javascript, Ruby, Node, or Python, etc.
Ultimately, what we’re looking for is someone with familiarity implementing business or product performance analytics ( activation, engagement, retention, adoption), and that can help other companies use our platform to implement similar metrics and data models.

If you've got any questions shoot me an email (florian.hines@keen.io).
I feel like I'm not very likely to need to perform CPR, but I've seen two people sustain major injuries doing yard work of all things. The 2nd time it took about 20 minutes for EMS to arrive. Had their cut been a bit deeper things could have easily ended up being much worst, and my crappy attempt at stopping their bleeding with a towel would have done nothing.
Stop the bleed is a 1 hour class, everyone should take it.
We’re building the next generation of our product and we're looking for a new frontend developer to join us. You'll help build out the client-side application, a fancy chrome extension that augments Gmail. You'll, of course, have a say in the all things frontend and help drive backend decisions (we want to make sure we build pleasant api's).
Our frontend stack primarily consists of ES6/7, React, Redux, Redux-Saga, and Indexeddb (we store a lot client side to keep the app super performant).
Other tech we use: Go, Ruby, React, Google Container Engine, MySQL, Mongo, Cloud Datastore
We're a really small team (5 people), and we're backed/owned by an awesome VC firm called Scaleworks. These are our new digs - https://therivardreport.com/with-move-into-savoy-building-sc...
Our only real requirement is that you have a solid React w/ Redux foundation. We don't do B.S. whiteboard interviews and we're open to differing skill levels. If you're interested please reach out (I'm the CTO, my contact info is in my profile).
Keep in mind though that Reddit's hard to predict and quality of feedback varies. If you post something to Reddit, it's worth taking your time to write something useful with hard numbers. Even then, there's a chance the random question about drop shipping submitted just ahead of you will get a ton of responses and you might get nothing but crickets.
I've been getting pretty frustrated with my new mac and im supe r tempted to try out a Razer Blade.
tl;dr Extroverted leadership teams always seem to try and set goal's for introverts that aims to help get them "out of their shell" or fake being an extrovert. But you need to stop trying to get me to fake being an extrovert and leverage my actual skill's instead. "Traditional" Org's like that still have a really hard time leveraging introverted leaders effectively. Its super frustrating.
