Technical Project Manager (Seattle)
Please read the task below, send us a brief introduction, some questions and your resume. We will award this project immediately after a brief screening. More about us and the role is listed below.
Project
Compensation - your rate for 1 day
Description:
Acting as Project Manager, design a small app that will extract as much content as possible from three apparel e-commerce sites to be output as CSV. Your project spec needs to contain as much detail as a 3rd party developer would need to begin working and leave little guesswork on the part of the developer.
● The platform is Java
● Collect all relevant product attribute information from the sites and output into a single CSV.
● Sites to mine:
○ http://www.romanoriginals.co.uk/
○ http://www.thomaspink.com/ (change to GBP in upper right hand side)
○ http://www.usc.co.uk/
We are interested in..
● Your ability to gather necessary project information, even when little information has been provided (hint: ask)
● How efficiently you work
● Your technical creativity / problem solving- ability to think in detail about the project (E.g., If you are planning to scrape the "color" attribute from the site and the color is not provided in text, how will you gather that information?)
● How clear and appropriately detailed your project description is
● Communication - asking questions and clarifications before making assumptions
● Your organizational skills - your ability to take a concept and create an actionable plan
Required columns
In addition to the new columns you define, the following columns must be present in the CSV to be scraped. Append additional category-specific columns to the end of the CSV. (Eg., attributes like "color" would be an attribute column - "jacket" is a category )
● Product ID (unique merchant sku)
● Merchant Name
● Manufacturer UPC
● Name
● Description
● Current Price
● Retail Price
● URL
● Category
● Brand
● Availability
● Ground shipping price
Your skills
You feel comfortable staffing and managing teams of technical and non-technical offshore resources. You understand how to recruit those teams, how to test them as well as the risks of working with offshore teams. QA is built into all phases of your development process.
Since you have a notable technical background, you get straight answers and solid work out of your teams. This is because you understand how to break a project up into manageable, well-defined development modules and how to identify the most appropriate resource.
Responsibilities
You will be in charge of several projects at once and be in charge of end-to-end solutions.
● Define requirements
● Document and pre-architect dev solutions
● Staff projects
● Manage timelines
● Manage QA
On any given day you will help your team:
● Translate a technical or business problem into a smart, modular development solution
● Hire, fire, praise and reason
● Prioritize your team's work load
● Work with the business team and push back when needed
● Assist your team in identifying the root of technical issues
● Employ one or more mitigation strategies for technical risks
● Pull at least one dev out of a tempting rabbit hole- aka "unrelated technical problem"
Job location
● Seattle, WA (flexible telecommuting from 1-4 days per week)
● Pike Place Market HQ (near Cost Plus)
● No long-distance or H-1B candidates, please
Skills
● Ability to estimate, communicate and beat deadlines
● Ruby on Rails and Java
● MySQL & SQL
● Some experience with data mining/web extractions
● Strong RegExp skills
● Git, Capistrano, Passenger, Nginx helpful
● Experience developing with APIs
● Comfortable in a Linux environment and basic sysadmin stuff
● Strong understanding of Web standards and front-end Web programming
Benefits and perks
This position is beginning on contract but will become full time when the Outsourced Technical Team is proven.
PopShops offers:
● Excellent health and dental benefits for you and your family
● Competitive salary
● 401k plan with matching
● Flexible "honor system" vacation and sick policies
● Flexible work-at-home + work-at-office
● Company-issued iPad & iPhone, bus pass and other unique PopShops perks

Web Designers Unite for Innovation Excellence (Global)
ATTENTION web designers of the world.
The Innovation Excellence community needs your help and we've got a prize up for grabs.
http://www.innovationexcellence.com is the world's most popular innovation web site.
Most of the disruptive, square peg in a round hole innovators that visit this site start at the bottom of the site, not the top -- beginning their visit on an article page and then exploring the site from there.
This behavior of course does not surprise us, but we do think that the design of our article pages could be much better to help bottom-up visitors discover more of the great content on the site (3,800+ articles and counting).
So, rather than paying a single designer to fix this problem or using someone else's community to gather input and pick a winner (with the winner getting a little cash and no exposure for their business), we thought we would run our own design challenge to bring much more attention to the best entering web designers. So here goes:
The Reward
1.The Top 10 Entries (by judging) will receive priceless visibility (including linked company name) in a Top 10 Entries article with the winning entry receiving a profile of their business in the article (with multiple links) to a community of 100,000+ monthly visitors
2.Winning Entry will receive a $250 cash prize
3.Winning Entry will also receive a 20-pack of article banners on Innovation Excellence ($400 value)
4.Winning Entry will get a signed copy of the popular book Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire by Braden Kelley
The Challenge
We are Looking for Web Designers all around the world to take a look at our article pages, like this one:
http://www.innovationexcellence.com/blog/2011/08/01/innovation-is-all-about-value/
And provide your design input for how you would change our article page design (in WordPress) to help visitors:
1.Discover more content and spend more productive time on the site
2.Productively visit more pages per visit
The key word you'll notice in both is productive -- we don't want people spending more time finding their way or clicking through unnecessary pages -- we want people to spend more time on the site reading great content and engaging with the community and visiting more pages because they see another article they want to read or another question or comment they want to make.
To have your response judged please make sure you submit:
1.A visualization of your design in a PowerPoint or PDF or PNG format
2.The code to make any widgets,etc. recommended in your design work
3.Anything else not listed required to make your design work
Please EMAIL your entries to the craigslist contact email
We look forward to seeing your submissions and featuring the winners (and the rest of the Top 10)!
PARTICULARS: For a prize to be awarded we must receive at least ten entries by midnight GMT on January 27, 2011 (the deadline for entries). Assuming we get at least ten entries (which we should) then the top ten entries and the winner will be announced no later than midnight GMT on January 31, 2011.
- Location: Global
- Compensation: Design Contest - See Description for Details - 1 winner will win $250 plus $400
- Telecommuting is ok.
- This is a contract job.
- Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
- Please, no phone calls about this job!

CEO of a profitable software-as-a-service email company (Work Virtually from Home Office)
The Position: CEO of a profitable software-as-a-service email company
Are you a highly skilled techie and entrepreneur hungry to lead and grow a successful company? Think you've got what it takes to be a Steve Jobs, Larry Page, or Sergey Brin? If you're a developer with a successful entrepreneurial background paired with strategic vision and the ability to execute it, you might be exactly the person I need.
My name's Ajay. I'm the current CEO of JangoMail, and I'm looking for someone who can do this job better than I can. JangoMail is a web-based email marketing platform with over 4,000 customers worldwide. We've been in the email marketing business for almost 10 years, and have two services: JangoMail and JangoSMTP. The company is growing, profitable, and has a great future ahead of it with the right leadership. I've taken the company this far, and I think someone else can take the company further.
It's time for me, the founder of JangoMail, to find a Chief Executive Officer who will drive my company forward and steer its future success. As you can imagine, finding the right person is a tall order. I'm looking for someone with great vision, lots of energy, and fantastic leadership skills, a tech background and experience running a business, and a personality that matches my company's culture. Basically I want Mark Zuckerberg's clone. If you're that person, keep reading.
What I'm looking for:
The ideal candidate is similar to me in many ways but different - and better! - in others. A quick summary of the similarities: you need to have both an entrepreneurial and tech background, understand how to run a small business, and have a blazing desire to succeed. What I need from someone else is vision: you need to be the leader and driver of JangoMail's new phase, and have the foresight, energy, and passion to take the company to the next level of growth.
Here are some of the particular skills and experiences I'm looking
for. You should:
1. Have run a software company in the past, preferably software-as-a-service (SaaS).
2. Have been a lead developer on a big software project at one point.
3. Have skills in most areas of running a small software company. This includes motivating
and managing team members, recruiting and HR, accounting, online marketing like AdWords/SEO,
negotiating, developing and maintaining strong client relationships, and so on.
Here are some less tangible requirements. You need to:
1. Be knowledgeable and passionate about all things software and tech.
2. Be able to conceive and execute a plan for how you'd take JangoMail forward.
3. Be liked by me and the other team members.
This position is a great opportunity for an energetic, driven techie who has skills beyond software development. If hired, you would inherit a profitable company with an amazing team and no big problems to start. If you have the skills and hunger of a great CEO and software developer, the strategic vision to fuel our product growth and our company growth, and the leadership skills to coordinate and guide a unique and highly independent team, this is the opportunity for you.
What your first three months might look like:
First 30 days: Immersion in product and company structure and culture.
You would spend your first month getting to know our products inside and out and learning the
overall architecture and codebase that comprises the products. You would also get to know our
two developers and our Director of Operations, and learn about the company's operations at a
high level, from accounting functions to marketing functions.
Second 30 days: Growth plan and vision.
Working with input from me, you would spend your second month developing a plan for the future.
This should be a flexible but comprehensive roadmap, identifying things like what people
need to be hired, what new features should be implemented, and what partnerships we should pursue.
Third 30 days: Put the plan in action.
In the third month, I anticipate handing off control to you. You would begin
implementing the plans that have been made so far. I would still provide some
consultation and feedback, but this would mark the beginning of your
tenure as top decision-maker.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: If you're looking for a new CEO, what role will you transition into?A: I'm not sure yet, but I'll still have involvement in the company. I anticipate that I may stay around in a technical capacity, developing and improving the product, or I might focus on blogging for the company or establishing partnerships. Whatever my role turns out to be, it will be up to you to steer and grow the company.
Q: What will the compensation structure look like?
A: This position will be highly compensated, with a six figure base salary plus a percentage of profits.
Q: Where will the CEO work?
A: From home. We are a virtual company with a small office in Dayton, Ohio. I (the current CEO) live in Chicago, but you can live wherever you want.
