Original posting

Kentik | Software Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite/Remote | Full-Time | kentik.com Kentik is a database company masquerading as a network BI tool: https://www.kentik.com/inside-the-kentik-data-engine-part-1. We wrote a custom database in go, which at its heart works by taking a time range, storing all events by time-slice and then at query time querying each time segment in parallel. This is hidden behind a Postgres front end using the foreign data wrapper interface PG provides. Then we tried to sell this product and quickly realized that we need a data-visualization layer. We're hiring someone primarily to work on our network anomaly detection product -- https://www.kentik.com/ddos-detection/. This would be kinda a split role, working in a React framework on the client side, node, and then a go codebase which processes traffic data, checks if there's anything to alert on, and then if so does some set of actions. https://www.kentik.com/careers if you are interested.
