Hiring Team Member
What is G2i?
G2i is a
hiring platform for engineers by engineers. Our vision is for the hiring
process to be simple, trustworthy and enjoyable for both companies and
engineers. Our mission is to create a vetting process where:
§
Engineers
will vet other engineers
§
Engineer
vetting will be as close to on the job requirements as possible
§
The
vetting process will be objective, repeatable and quantitatively scored
§
The
process will be transparent. We will provide the engineer's code, our code
review and technical interview notes in full to our clients.
G2i is
short for "Good News to the Internet." We are convinced that our
primary vision & mission are good news to companies that need to hire
engineers. While we are going about fulfilling that primary vision &
mission, we will also be good news to those in need. We are on mission to help
hundreds of street kids in Nairobi, Kenya obtain education, a safe
home, parental care, and the love they need. We are also committed to
supporting the open source community by finding ways to financially support
those who build the OSS we rely on.
What We're
building
In order
to fulfill our mission & vision we are building a two way marketplace
platform. This platform will allow companies to find pre-vetted engineers that
can augment their teams on demand. We're investing in features such as a
quantitative manual review code process, individualized company match scores
and machine learning to automate more of these processes.
Who we want
to hire (Qualifications)
In simple
terms we want to hire someone that will enjoy sourcing and interviewing
engineers most of the day and interacting with clients to meet their needs the
rest. Here's what that actually means to us:
§
You are
comfortable with outbound and inbound communication
§
You will
complete non-trivial hiring and fulfillment requirements , on time, with very
little or no help from other members of the team.
§
You can
work independently and figure out how to solve problems in front of you.
§
You will
assist other members on the team when they get stuck working on non-trivial
hiring and fulfillment requirements.
§
You are
omni-competent and can contribute while crossing contexts.
§
You will
practice a habit of over communicating in public and will hold the team
accountable to doing the same.
§
You will
have a sense of ownership over the engineer hiring and fulfillment process. The
buck will stop with you.
§
You will
have a sense of urgency to your work meaning that the completion of a task is
important to you.
§
You will
measure your success by how much value is being delivered to clients and
engineers and by how much you are growing.
§
You
thrive in a context heavy on interpersonal interaction especially over Zoom
§
The
highlight of your day will be getting a company the engineers they need to
build their product. You're happy when the client is happy.
Who you will
work with
§
Lee
Johnson is the CTO of G2i. He has been an engineer for 20+ years, has worked
across numerous tech stacks and has survived countless engineering fads. He was
an early adopter of React and React Native and helped to start React Native
Radio with Nader Dabit. Lee currently leads Platform development, but his goal
is to focus more on G2i's vetting process.
§
Stephen
Mitchell works in Growth. Stephen's background is in sales and marketing, but
he's the type of person who will accomplish anything you throw at him. He works
on our inbound/outbound sales strategies and is relentless about finding
product market fit. He's also experienced in the G2i engineer hiring process
and can do full cycle sales with our clients.
§
Chris
Severns is the Hiring Team Lead and the person that wrote this job description.
He focuses on engineer hiring, the technical vetting process and client
fulfillment. He is an engineer that started working in Rails and picked up
React, React Native, Node and GraphQL while working at G2i. He is relentlessly
focused on providing quality engineers to G2i's clients and will do whatever it
takes to fulfill that mission. He likes to contribute to G2i's internal tools
when he has the time to get into the code.
§
Gabe
Greenberg is the founder of G2i. His main focus is on sales, strategy and
leading the company. Before G2i Gabe planned on being a church planter and
pastor. God took him in a different direction after a missions trip to Kenya
where he met the street boys we now support. The foundation Gabe was working
with needed a website built and everything grew from there.

the pitch

get to learn about and improve every part of our hiring process
§

meet and work directly with our client's hiring managers and CTOs large and
small (from $1 billion to $1 million in valuation)

The
Anti-Pitch
We are not
a good fit for you if:
§
You are
looking for a giant slow moving company. We're constantly experimenting,
iterating and changing things.
§
You are
looking to specialize in some particular problem set. This role requires
working in different contexts and problem sets. We need people that can adapt
to the challenges thrown at them.
§
You don't
want to take on any work outside of your job description/comfort zone. We're a
small company and sometimes we need all hands on deck for certain problems.
