COMPANY

Cuanto (YC19). We're creating tools to help entrepreneurs in Latin America grow their business through Instagram and WhatsApp. Our product is a Shopify-meets-Square for a business run by one person. We believe this will help millions live off the internet.

PROJECTS

1. Financial conciliation: We need help making our conciliation world-class. We're making enough money now that we want to avoid any possibility of a discrepancy. This may involve scraping a few banking partners, integrating with ledger providers or using open source solutions to do it in-house - we want to hear your opinion too. Stack: Rails, PostgreSQL.

2. Whatsapp integration: we want to build a WA bot to help merchants deal with inbound from consumers. Stack: Whatsapp API or whatsapp-web.js, Typescript. This is a big endeavor we want to break up in a few pieces but there's plenty of work to keep the project going if we like working together (custom UI, LLM integration).

3. Rails API performance: we track performance per endpoint using Skylight. Most of these things can be improved by checking we have proper indexes, others require denormalizing/reshuffling the data. Stack: Active Record, Redis, Postgre. You should know your way around Active Record and PostgreSQL indexing.

REQUIREMENTS

Experience with the stack listed.

Examples from past experiences building this kind of system (yes, we want you to have built something like this before and are willing to pay you for your time and experience).

WHY WORK WITH US

These products are enabling a lot of people to live off the internet doing what they love. Our customers are turning passions into revenue, starting companies and quitting their 9-to-5 in a region where human capital is underappreciated.
