NOW HIRING: Full Stack Software Engineer (Node.js, React, AWS)

Company: Deep Consulting Solutions
Website: https://www.deepconsulting.solutions
Headquarters: Austin, Texas, United States


(Remote, Full-Time, Anywhere in the World)

We are looking for a skilled and passionate Full Stack Software Engineer to join our Tech Team to build and scale effective software solutions. We are in need of an enthusiastic self-starter with expertise in Node.js, React, and other technologies.


What We Do

We work with niche companies in the US, Canada, the UK to restructure and automate their operation so that their businesses can grow 5-10x. We do that by effectively analyzing their business, streamlining their processes, and designing an effective automation solution that we then implement on our robust IT stack.

We make extensive use of technologies that help us accomplish results with less work — making everyone inside of our global organization more effective.


We heavily leverage:

Amazon AWS's serverless technologies and microservices for our front-end, back-end, and mobile apps (Lambda, Amplify, Cognito, S3, etc.).

Zoho's CRM and ERP Tools (Desk, Books, etc.).

Vonage/Nexmo-based telephony and communications solutions (Vonage Business Phone, Nexmo Voice/SMS, OpenTalk, etc.).

We are always looking for new technologies and welcome team members adding things to our technology stack so we can deliver more results more effectively.


What You Will Do

As an Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering the solution as per requirements put together by our Creative and Business Analysis Teams. Depending on your level, you will be responsible for either the entire project (with other engineers working in your project team) or for a part of it.
Your ultimate deliverable will be to effectively build a solution that will be implemented in the client's business and run successfully going forward.


In doing so, you will:

• Design and architect complex solutions involving web apps (front+back), custom CRM/ERP's, programmable telephony, and occasionally mobile apps.
• Deliver and implement your solutions.
• Create effective monitoring of the solutions for effective usage and scalability.
• Do anything else you deem necessary to accomplish your result.

Requirements

You are:

• Responsible and driven by results.
• Genuinely interested in technology.
• Willing to learn, grow, and admit mistakes.
• Able to communicate with other people on the project's team effectively.

You have:

• A solid knowledge of Node.js, React, SQL and NoSQL databases to build our front and back end solutions.
• Experience with APIs to integrate applications with each other.
• Effective written and verbal English to communicate with our international team.
• Basic understanding of DevOps and SDLC to cooperate with other developers in building the product.

Will be a good plus:

• Experience with Amazon AWS, serverless technologies, and microservices on its platform.
• Experience with CRM and ERP systems such as Zoho and others.

What We Offer

• Results-Focused Approach to Work
• We do not look at people's activities, the number of lines of code written, etc., as the measure of success. We look strictly at the results in effectively delivered products.
• Financial Rewards for Exceptional Results
• Successfully completed projects serve as the basis for financial bonuses and compensation plans.
• Freely Arranged Schedule
• You decide when you want to work. What we expect from you are results. There is a daily stand-up call — but outside of it, you can manage your schedule as you prefer.
• Work as an Engineer, Not Just a Coder
• Our Engineers work to build solutions and not just to write code. You will have freedom in how you want to architect the solutions you are making and we will heavily encourage initiative on your part.
• Growth Within Our Organization
• We are a dynamic and growing organization with a team spread around multiple continents. If you prove yourself as a responsible, driven and motivated individual, there will be opportunities for you to lead projects and manage tech teams.

Our candidate selection process is designed to assess people strictly by their merit. We do not make you go through a long round of interviews, instead, we follow a straight-forward sequence:

1. Job Application Form.
2. Online Skills Assessment.
3. Interview.
4. Paid Practical Assignment.
5. Evaluation and Offer.

That's the opportunity at vidIQ – an infinite market, a large and highly engaged customer base, and the chance to help build vidIQ's sales and growth engine from the ground up.


Intro

Why this Role?

1. Join a truly global, remote team: Work from anywhere! Have co-workers all around the world. Get the opportunity to travel for events and company meet-ups.
2. Build an engaging experience people love: Creators around the world use vidIQ to manage huge 8 figure subscriber YouTube channels – but your friends and family just starting out on YouTube use it to gather ideas, find opportunities, and dig into what's working for these mega channels.

NOW HIRING: US Expat Tax Accountant

Company: Greenback Expat Tax Services
Website: https://www.greenbacktaxservices.com
Headquarters: Grandville, Michigan, United States


Location: Remote, work from home, any time zone or geography

Greenback Expat Tax Services is a company that specializes in preparing tax returns for Americans living overseas. We are a highly energetic, positive, resourceful team working virtually across the globe. We believe that executional excellence is key to success.

At Greenback, we provide you with the tools that you need to be successful and we bring our clients to you so that you can focus on preparing expat taxes and providing exceptional customer care!
This is not a traditional JOB- it’s more like a business partnership- and is ideally suited for those folks who love the idea of their earning potential being tied to their individual accomplishments, are obsessively organized and have a natural flair for customer care.


What we’re looking for:

• CPAs or EAs with 3-5 years of experience preparing US expat tax returns, including specific experience with the additional forms and schedules required for expats (1116, 2555, FinCen 114, 5471, 3520, etc.)
• People who are comfortable managing their own schedule and workload. There are no set hours- you get paid for the work you do and your results. You take on as many customers as you choose (we pre-agree annual targets)
• People who see technology as an enabler and embrace it fully. We use state of the art systems (Salesforce, Box, ProSeries, and Lacerte).
• People who are extremely organized, especially in managing around deadlines. This is a deadline-driven business, so anyone who gets frazzled near a tax deadline or disorganized will struggle.
• Strong attention to detail. Mistakes on tax returns are not cool. We need people who make sure there’s never an error or an oversight.

Why work with Greenback?

• Again, this is not a traditional 9 to 5. No one has set hours- you have specific responsibilities and obligations related to timeliness of customer care, but it’s up to you to set a schedule that meets those timings.
• No office/no commute. You have ultimate flexibility to decide where you work from and when you work. Want to spend tax season in your home office and the slower season working a lighter load from Mexico or Bali or the coast of Spain? Many on our team do just that.
• You get paid directly in proportion to how many tax returns you complete. Your earning potential is unlimited and a good number of the accountants on our team earn six figures. However, this is also very personal and is directly in relation to your skillset. If you’re a hustler, have high expertise in US expat tax prep, work hard and stay organized, this is a great opportunity for you.
• We have frequent bonus opportunities for excellence in staying organized, timeliness and attention to detail. We’ve heard our accountants described as “personal tax time hero’s”-we compensate accountants above the standard per return pay for above and beyond customer care
• This opportunity is an ideal fit for people who are happy to work on their own, but don’t want to manage the business logistics like marketing, customer acquisition, billing, customer service, etc
• We’re maniacal about customer care- we expect everyone to have an experience with us that makes them want to go straight out and tell their friends how wonderful Greenback is. Accountants who feel that’s important thrive with us and love how happy their customers are at the end of each tax season.
• You will have access to a peer group of 30+ accountants that are the best in the industry in regards to not just US expat taxes, but also customer centricity.

And the best news is- we’re hiring! The business is growing rapidly, and we’re looking to staff 5-10 more accountants this year alone. Apply today!!! To apply, take the following steps:

• Fill out our online assessment
• Attach to the online form not only your resume/CV, but also a cover letter
• We will follow up with all candidates within 5 working days with next steps.

Candidates can be based anywhere in the world, this position is virtual/work from home.
