I'm Tyler, the Director of Engineering for Web, so one of these roles reports to me, but I am more than happy to have a chat with anyone interested in any of the roles.
I walk into the office of the VP of Business Development, interviewing for a role to lead their ecommerce team. And I sit down and notice a fidget spinner, a couple of fidget cubes and a scrambled Rubik's cube on his desk. As we are sitting down I casually ask if he's into puzzles, he says no, he spends a lot of time of the phone and is always looking to do something with his hands.
Anyway, 10 minutes later, his cell phone rings, presumably a family member, as he looks concerned and very politely asks if he can step out to take it, in case its an emergency. I say, "of course" and I'm just sitting there with nothing to do but stare at the wall.
I didn't want to take out my phone, so I grab the cube and start solving it.
He steps back into the office thanking me just as I'm putting his solved cube back on his desk.
Not the main reason, but I did get offered the job.
In my experience, it's more important to educate non-technical colleagues about your product and software development processes. Understanding pull requests or redis don't matter as much, and can be picked up along the way.
I've gifted The Mythical Man Month (Brooks) and Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love (Cagan) to colleagues and have received great feedback.
Personally, I had never used the term attribution model until I worked at an ecommerce company and didn't have a good reason to understand the details of churn until working with a SAAS business. Any reasonably smart person can pick up these domain specific understandings as they go.

If you are an engineer introvert like myself that is hesitant to post your info here, I run a anonymous, private job matching service for people not looking for jobs: hirewhen.com
[email protected] with the same info you'd post here. Or just say hi.
Cool idea. I think it be beneficial to be able to see what it does without having to watch the video.
Like a "Turn This" => "Into This" with a simple pre-render example ad. It's ultimately a visual medium, and there's more of an "aha" moment when I can quickly see "oh wow, it generated a twitter card, instagram square and adwords vertical rectangle" on first view.
There are a lot of red flags in your description. This doesn't sound like an ideal first development job for a few reasons. Most importantly, focus on finding a position where you can learn more software engineering practices from great mentors.
Questions to ask yourself: What are your personal career goals? How would taking this job serve them?
I've actually searched for this exact service before. I'd love for the landing page .o have a little more information about how the ftp credentials would work. (your domain, multiple accounts? read only?) And also pricing. Similarly, I pay for https://dbinbox.com/ to solve a similar, parallel problem.
I'll just play devils advocate here. As a consumer, I really like buying from the Mac App store solely for the user experience of, when I eventually new a new Macbook Pro, I can easily sync all of my purchases, rather than having to retrieve the licenses and go download the latest version of each piece of software I've purchased. As a developer, I've heard countless horror stories and totally understand.
I mostly solved this problem by taking 2 minutes and writing a thoughtful response to remind them that I am an actual human.
"Thanks, COMPANY_NAME sounds interesting, but I'm not looking to make a move. I really enjoy working with my fantastic team solving challenging problems in my current position. It would take an unbelievable improvement in [salary, schedule, problem space] to make me consider a move. Let's stay in touch on LinkedIn and feel free to reach out in N months or if any amazing opportunities that meet those criteria come across your desk. Thanks!"
Personally, I have found that not all, but many recruiters will reply with a LinkedIn request and an "I'd love to get to know more about what you are looking for, or will follow up in N months."
Chrome with a lot of extensions (Notably: Always Clear Downloads, AlienTube for Youtube, Fireshot, Edit this Cookie, Ghostery, Google Analytics Debugger, PageSpeed Insights, Postman REST Debugger, Rapportive, uBlock). But I occasionally find myself using I use Safari for a simple, clean browsing experience.
I have been there, and it's hard to see a way out of what is making you miserable, or alternatively preventing you from being happy. Is it the work? Is it something in your personal life? Personally, I have found that I've fought against what I felt like I SHOULD be doing. I should be a hero and finish some big project. I should work towards being promoted.
Try and evaluate what you actually want, how do you FEEL? I don't know anything more about your situation, but why do you feel like you have to commute so far? Why do you feel like you need to stay in your job?
What would you rather do? Most importantly, talk to someone and ask for help. Talk with a family member, a friend, your boss. It's not in their best interest for you to burn out and rage quit. They want to help you succeed.
Don't hesitate to reach out via email if you want to chat. I've been there and maybe can help.
But take this as an opportunity to evaluate what is making you unhappy and what makes you happy.
She was incredibly helpful on both a personal and professional level. She reached out, and up an interview at a top Ecommerce company in NYC.
The company wasn't a great match for what I was looking for at the time (earlier stage, smaller team, building the groundwork) and she introduced me to an (at the time) much smaller company that I had never heard of.
But it was a great fit, and I loved the job for 2.5 years and used her to help grow that team.
She was probably the first person to convince me that not all recruiters are terrible.
