We know a lot of you out there probably know great people who love solving truly hard distributed problems with a distributed team of superb engineers.

If you know anyone who fits the bill, wants to work remotely and is based in Europe (or wants to work on-site in London), we'll give you $3,000 simply for the referral if we end up employing them.

Follow these steps to earn $3,000 for one minute of your time:

# Set up the Heroku scheduler to run this command every hour. See example setup at https://goo.gl/nMCSH3
#
# Requires env vars to be set in Heroku with `heroku config:set`:
#  - HEROKU_APP_NAME:  this is just the app name in Heroku, i.e. `heroku apps` will list all apps you have access to
#  - HEROKU_CLI_USER:  Once Heroku CLI is authenticated (https://goo.gl/Qypr4x), check `cat .netrc` (or `_netrc` on Windows),
#                      look for `login` under `machine api.heroku.com`
#  - HEROKU_CLI_TOKEN: As above, but use the `password` field
