Original posting
Software Engineer | Austin, TX | OwnLocal (YC W2010)
Positions: Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Senior Front End Software Engineer
TL;DR: Full-time, local only. RoR, Go, JavaScript, SQL, ElasticSearch but we think you can learn these things on the job if you're competent. We treat employees like humans and pay market rates.
Our web apps are Ruby on Rails but recently more and more of our stack has been in Go and JS. We've built a big API on ElasticSearch which serves billions of requests per month.
We're interested in computer vision, OCR, speech recognition and video transcoding because these things are all part of our bread and butter -- small business marketing.
OwnLocal is dedicated to having a quality work environment for everyone. On our engineering team we value collaboration over competition, respect work-life balance and solve problems without blaming people. We have a "no assholes" policy. We're big enough to be stable but small enough that everyone still knows everyone else in the company. We pay market rates, $90k and up (for a senior software engineer) depending on experience and have great health insurance.
