Build the systems behind better estimates.

Interstates is seeking an Accubid Anywhere Systems & Database Manager to own and improve the systems, data, and workflows that support estimating and project delivery across the organization.

This is more than a database administration role. You’ll serve as an Accubid Anywhere subject-matter expert, database governance owner, process improvement leader, trainer, and trusted partner to estimating and project teams. Your work will help Interstates create more accurate estimates, improve project setup, and deliver quality work more efficiently.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, improving systems, supporting people, and creating reliable tools that make work better, this role offers meaningful ownership and visible impact.

Important: This position requires at least two years of hands-on Accubid Anywhere experience, including creating and adjusting assemblies, creating reports, and supporting project setup.

Why This Role Matters

Estimating teams depend on accurate, organized, and accessible information. In this role, you’ll help establish the standards, content, and workflows that enable teams across Interstates to estimate with greater confidence and consistency.

You’ll also play a key role in the transition from Accubid Classic to Accubid Anywhere and help shape how estimating technology is used across the organization.

What You’ll Do

Own and improve Accubid Anywhere

  • Serve as the primary owner of Accubid Anywhere database content, accuracy, standards, and ongoing development.
  • Lead the transition from Accubid Classic to Accubid Anywhere, including database migration, validation, and standardization.
  • Expand, organize, and maintain pre-built database content and assemblies.
  • Create and adjust assemblies to support estimating and project delivery needs.
  • Create reports and support project setup.
  • Establish and maintain database standards, naming conventions, documentation, and change management practices.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to integrate products into the database.
  • Ensure database content remains accurate, efficient, scalable, and easy for end users to navigate.

Support estimating and project teams

  • Serve as the primary technical resource for Accubid Anywhere database-related questions and issues.
  • Provide troubleshooting and day-to-day support to estimators, project managers, and other stakeholders.
  • Facilitate training and help users effectively adopt Accubid Anywhere tools, standards, and workflows.
  • Assist with project estimating and other estimating-related activities as capacity and business needs allow.
  • Translate user and project needs into practical database and workflow solutions.

Lead cross-functional improvement

  • Identify systemic risks, process gaps, and improvement opportunities within estimating workflows.
  • Recommend and implement changes that improve the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of estimating practices.
  • Partner with estimators, project managers, manufacturing, operations, and leadership to support business needs.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders across departments, roles, and locations without direct supervisory authority.
  • Promote consistent processes, data integrity, and continuous improvement across the organization.

What You’ll Bring

Required qualifications

  • At least 2 years of hands-on Accubid Anywhere experience.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in:
    -  Creating and adjusting assemblies
    -  Creating reports
    -  Supporting project setup
    -  Troubleshooting Accubid Anywhere database and estimating issues
  • Experience supporting or owning database governance, including standards, naming conventions, documentation, and change management.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy, consistency, and integrity.
  • Experience collaborating with estimators, project managers, manufacturing, operations, and leadership.
  • Ability to identify, recommend, and implement database and workflow improvements.
  • Strong communication and training skills, with the ability to support and train estimators and project managers.
  • Excellent organization and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Self-motivation, initiative, and the ability to work independently with limited supervision.
  • Strong Excel and reporting skills.

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience with electrical construction estimating.
  • Experience with database administration or governance.
  • Experience supporting large-scale software or system transitions.
  • Experience developing documentation, training materials, or standard operating procedures.
  • Experience leading cross-functional process improvement initiatives.

How Your Success Will Be Measured

During your first year, you will help:

  • Advance and support the transition from Accubid Classic to Accubid Anywhere.
  • Establish consistent database standards and change management practices.
  • Improve the accuracy, organization, and usability of assemblies and reports.
  • Become a trusted technical resource for estimating and project management teams.
  • Identify and implement improvements that make estimating more reliable and efficient.
  • Deliver effective training and support for Accubid Anywhere users.

Work Arrangement and Travel

This role begins with in-person training and onboarding at one of the listed Interstates office locations. After successful completion of training and onboarding, the position may transition to a remote work arrangement based on business and role requirements.
Remote employees will still be expected to commute to their nearest Interstates office for approximately 2–4 scheduled all-in collaboration days with estimating and project management teams. Travel to support organizational and business needs is expected to be approximately 10%.

Tech & Remote Glossary

Stop getting lost in interviews and job descriptions

The job market, especially within tech and global companies, has developed its own dialect. Not understanding these acronyms can make you lose valuable opportunities or poorly negotiate your contract. To end this problem, we created the Definitive Glossary for the Remote Professional.

🏢 Work Models & Routine

Async (Asynchronous Work)
A communication model where responses don't need to be immediate. Instead of back-to-back meetings, the team relies on well-structured documents, threads, and messages. It's the gold standard for global companies spanning multiple time zones.
Sync (Synchronous Work)
The opposite of Async. It requires the team to be online and available at the same time for meetings, live chats, and real-time collaboration.
Daily / Stand-up
A quick daily meeting (usually 15 minutes) common in Agile (Scrum) methodologies. The team answers three questions: What did I do yesterday? What will I do today? Are there any blockers?
All-Hands / Town Hall
A company-wide meeting involving all employees. Usually led by the founders (C-Levels) to present results, new goals, and answer team questions.
1:1 (One-on-One)
A recurring individual meeting between a professional and their direct manager. It is used for career alignment, feedback, and problem-solving, not just for project status updates.

💰 Contracts, Benefits & Compensation

PTO (Paid Time Off)
Instead of strict, categorized leave policies, modern US companies usually offer a flexible pool of days (e.g., 20 days of PTO, or even "Unlimited PTO") that you can use for vacations, sick days, or personal matters, while receiving your regular compensation.
Equity / Stock Options
Company ownership. The startup offers you the right to buy shares at a heavily discounted strike price in the future. If the company grows, goes public, or is acquired, these shares can be highly lucrative.
Vesting (Vesting Schedule)
The rule that controls your Equity. It usually lasts 4 years. You don't get all the shares on day one; you "earn" them gradually as you stay with the company. A "1-year Cliff" means you must stay for at least one year to receive your first batch of shares.
RSUs (Restricted Stock Units)
Unlike Stock Options (where you have the right to buy the stock), RSUs are actual shares the company grants you as a bonus or part of your compensation package, following a strict Vesting schedule.
Independent Contractor (1099 / B2B)
The most common international hiring model for global talent working for US companies. You act as a service provider (business-to-business), receiving the gross salary (often six-figure compensation) without standard local payroll tax deductions at the source.

🤖 Recruitment & Hiring Process

ATS (Applicant Tracking System)
The "robot" that reads your resume. Software like Greenhouse, Ashby, and Workday are used to filter candidates by keywords before a human even looks at the document. (Pro tip: this is why your resume must be clean, semantic, and have the right keywords).
JD (Job Description)
The document that lists the responsibilities, technical requirements, and benefits of the open position.
Cultural Fit
The interview stage that evaluates if your core values, communication style, and worldview align with the company's culture. This is the ultimate test of your Soft Skills.
Onboarding
The integration process. It's the period of your first few weeks at the company, where you get your access credentials, learn about the culture, study the internal documentation, and understand how the product works.

🚀 How to use this to your advantage?

The secret isn't just knowing what these acronyms mean, but using them actively. If during an interview for a premium tech role you ask, "How does your PTO policy and Vesting schedule work?", the recruiter will immediately perceive you as a high-level professional, familiar with the global market standards.

The remote job market requires preparation. And having the right vocabulary is the first big step to securing six-figure proposals and standing out among thousands of applicants.

The Ultimate Guide to Global E-commerce

The Ultimate Guide to Global E-commerce: Careers, Technology, and the Best Opportunities

By Mondywork | Career and Technology Insights

How borderless digital commerce is shaping the future of work and creating high-value, six-figure roles for Managers and Engineers.

1. The Current Landscape of Global E-commerce

E-commerce is no longer just a "digital storefront"; it has become the core revenue engine for the world's biggest brands. According to projections by eMarketer, global retail e-commerce sales continue to break records, easily surpassing the multi-trillion-dollar mark annually.

Today, the market thrives in the era of Cross-Border Commerce, where consumers buy from brands across continents with the same ease as a local purchase. To sustain this massive operation, companies are investing heavily in cloud infrastructure, data-driven smart logistics, and modern tech architectures like Headless Commerce — where the front-end (user interface) is completely decoupled from the back-end (sales engine), ensuring lightning-fast loading speeds and highly personalized experiences.

2. The Pillars of the Operation: Who Makes E-commerce Happen?

Behind every "1-Click Buy" button, there is a complex engineering structure bridging business and technology. Two fundamental professionals stand out in this ecosystem:

The E-commerce Manager

This is the strategic brain of the business. The E-commerce Manager isn't just a digital inventory keeper; they are performance analysts obsessed with metrics and growth.

  • Core Responsibilities: Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), P&L (Profit and Loss) management, catalog curation, dynamic pricing, and coordinating traffic campaigns alongside the Marketing team.
  • Key Metrics: CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost), LTV (Lifetime Value), ROAS (Return on Ad Spend), and Churn Rate.
  • Ideal Profile: Highly analytical, data-driven, with strong cross-departmental leadership skills (uniting logistics, marketing, and tech).

The E-commerce Engineer (Developer)

The technological arm and executor of the business vision. Developers focused on e-commerce are highly valued because they understand that every millisecond of latency in the code translates to lost revenue.

  • Core Responsibilities: Building and maintaining storefronts, complex API integrations (ERPs, CRMs, Payment Gateways, and shipping providers), developing custom themes, and ensuring information security (PCI Compliance).
  • Tech Stack: Varies by platform, but mastering JavaScript (React/Next.js for Headless), Node.js, GraphQL, and specific template languages (like Liquid for Shopify) is essential.
  • Ideal Profile: Technical problem-solver with a strong business acumen, deeply focused on Web Performance (Core Web Vitals) and scalability.

3. The Biggest Market Players (SaaS and PaaS Platforms)

To succeed in this field, it is crucial to master or be deeply familiar with the giants that power virtual stores globally:

Shopify / Shopify Plus:
The Canadian giant dominates the global SaaS market. With a massive app ecosystem and Liquid as its template language, Shopify Plus is the go-to choice for scalable enterprise brands. Shopify Developers are in incredibly high demand across the US and European markets.
VTEX:
A Latin American powerhouse that became a formidable global player, now listed on the NYSE. The VTEX IO architecture, based on React and Node.js, changed the game for Enterprise development. VTEX Managers and Devs have guaranteed opportunities in large B2B and B2C corporations.
Magento (Adobe Commerce):
Known for its extreme robustness and flexibility (PaaS/On-Premise). It requires solid knowledge of PHP and complex software architecture. It is the platform of choice for massive, highly customized operations.
Salesforce Commerce Cloud:
Aimed at the top of the pyramid (large enterprise accounts), it integrates seamlessly into the Salesforce CRM ecosystem, requiring highly specialized professionals versed in its proprietary languages and corporate processes.

4. Where Are the Best Opportunities and How to Break In?

The e-commerce market is one of the biggest hubs for global remote jobs. US and European companies are actively seeking top-tier talent worldwide, offering aggressive compensation (often six-figure salaries in USD or EUR) to professionals who can scale their operations.

For those looking to enter or pivot to this area:

  1. Specialize in a Platform: Being a "Generic Developer" pays the bills, but being a "VTEX IO Specialist" or a "Shopify Expert" multiplies your market value. Pursue official certifications.
  2. Master APIs and Integrations: Modern e-commerce doesn't live in a vacuum. Knowing how to connect a store to a logistics system, a marketing automation software (like Klaviyo or Brevo), or a global ERP is the most valued skill today.
  3. Build a Real Portfolio: For devs, create test stores, build a public app for the Shopify App Store, or contribute to Headless projects. For managers, showcase real conversion optimization cases and campaign management on your LinkedIn.
  4. Flawless Technical Communication: Fluent English (especially asynchronous communication for documentation, Jira tickets, and Slack) is the golden key to unlocking those US Remote and global six-figure roles.
"In e-commerce, the code isn't just software; it's the store itself. If the site crashes on Black Friday, the company bleeds money. That's why highly qualified professionals in this field are never out of work."
