Rails and Full-Stack Developers
We're looking for sharp folks eager to unlock the value of big data. We serve about 2 billion of transactions per day with super low latency through our online advertising platform. At that scale, every contribution to our platform can have a huge impact.
We hack on C, Scala, Rails, Redis, Hadoop, HBase and Postgres. We do data analysis with Hive and R. We're likely to get into Spark and Storm in the near future. We don't expect you to be an expert in any of these technologies. In fact, I joined the team as a dyed-in-the-wool .NET guy. More than anything we're looking for the right kind of can-do folks who thrive on building solid systems.
We offer a competitive salary, paid lunch, medical/dental, and uncapped vacation. We work a modified schedule to give us every other Friday off.
Maybe you know Rails but you've been wanting to learn Scala. Maybe you've tinkered with Kafka/Storm on a few EC2 instances but never had a chance to work with a ton of data. Maybe you've wanted to gain deep knowledge of the online advertising industry. We want you. You'll be joining a sharp team with a strong appetite for progress.
I'm one of the engineers, and I'd be happy to chat about our team even if you don't have a resume or consider yourself actively looking for a new gig. If you'd prefer to jump directly into the HR channel, I can connect you with the right folks. Email david.larsen@connexity.com.
