My local tech community has a slack where the grievance of low-effort sloppypasta was being discussed, and one of them made this and a whole bunch of feedback looping ensued. I was pleased enough with the result to share even though I didn't make it.
I'm local to the area of the company. Peeps in the community here have said they issue ridiculous old or underpowered laptops for many positions and that many if not all of those 30 employees are likely using their personal machines because they're more comfortable to the employee.
Unsupervised | Software Engineers | Full-time | US Remote or Boulder, Colorado
Unsupervised is an AI driven data analysis company. We run an unsupervised learning engine we built in-house to do a lot of analysis on customer data. The value (according to customers) is the insights we find that help them take action in their organization to move the needle on their metrics, things that matter to them and their goals.
We're hiring software engineers to work on our core compute engine and web interface. In the web app we use React and Graphql via apollo-server and TypeScript server-side, speaking to GRPC services we write in Go and Rust. In the compute engine, we're largely Python and C++. You don't need to know those coming in as long as you can learn it fast enough. On the compute side, Dask and Ray experience is a plus. You definitely need to know data structures and graphs enough to talk shop about them. We deploy on Kubernetes in a cloud native modern dev workflow, but we'll happily train what you need to know there, we've got decent tooling in place to make it very approachable and iterative.

Unsupervised is a Data Capitalization Management company. We help organizations find actionable insights in their data so they can make their data more of a measurable asset (think extreme leverage from data science). We do this by using an unsupervised learning engine we built in-house to do a lot of analysis on their data.

The vast majority of businesses are not going to fit any of this playbook. The problem is this playbook covers a niche. If you don't want to play that niche game, that's totally fine. However, like me, you will have to look elsewhere to decide what game you DO want to play, and what rules you'll have to live by. Sometimes that's customer focus, sometime's that is volume focus, or diversifying, or a 12 month profitability plan (sometimes longer, like maybe a restaurant).
There's no rules in business but the laws of the land. Pretending that there's one definition of success is very limiting to both focus and opportunity for all of us.
