Ah yes, I know that the majority of the armchair GM’s who frequent MLBTR are more than qualified for this job.
Good thing they only need to find one.
I’m not.
The only thing I know about a cloud is that I like to yell at them when my blood gets angry.
This comment got my morning off to a good start.
it looks like they want a college graduate but the requiremens say they need a doctor of ce.
If only my program didn’t add all the stuff I needed after I graduated my program
Also helps if you know the password to the Astros’ team computer.
So they want a weatherman?
First contributor to the Indeed Recruiter’s “Geek Department”….Dilbert would be a great hire…
I wonder if Chris Correa is available.
If the article mentioned where to send your resume, I sure didn’t see it. Perhaps it’s in the cloud.
Link to apply???
Well at least we know Bill can’t include “strong attention to detail” in his resume.
But you they just used Snowflake instead of GCP, they could cut out all of the optimization and maintenance needs listed in the requirements and would just need an ETL developer. Using the right tools is 75% of the job. I thought this organization was supposed to be best in class in analytics?
