PLEENQ | San Diego, California | ONSITE | $110k-$150k | Javascript/Node.js Full stack Developer
PLEENQ is a new patented technology that links products in images to the retailer's websites where they can be purchased. You can see a video of PLEENQ in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GfKBvs53Ss

What my tech stack looks like:
Node.js | Redis | Elasticsearch | RabbitMQ | MySQL (AWS Aurora) | Many AWS services | Front End: jQuery, SASS
Who I am looking for:

-Comfortable on a command line
-Basic familiarity with server administration (bonus points for being better at this area)
Bonuses/things that I'd be stoked to see:

-Any experience with technologies surrounding affiliate marketing
-UI/UX or graphic design experience
