Scribd | Senior Data Engineer OR Engineering Manager | San Francisco | Onsite | VISA Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to re-imagine the way the world reads. We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites. We're looking for senior data engineers (4+ years of experience) with experience in Spark and Scala. We have multiple projects leveraging our cluster to support our recommendations, search and other areas of the product. We are also looking for engineering managers that want to lead the work we do on Search, Recommendations and Web/front end sides. We have growing teams that would benefit from the expertise of an experienced manager with solid technical background in one of the areas mentioned. We are a small team which means you can have a ton of impact and bring in your own ideas. Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with great perks for employees. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you've used so far. We have hired a bunch of people from these threads, including myself. If you have any questions you can reach out to me directly at nikos at scribd.com or better yet apply directly at https://www.scribd.com/about/engineering
