Job Description

Seeking object-oriented Java programmers to work on cutting-edge data gathering and extraction on the elastic cloud.  You must know design patterns inside-out, be a master of Java syntax and object oriented design, and will be expected to hit the ground running within and on top of a rapidly expanding codebase.  Only top-tier pragmatic problem-solvers who don't mind getting their hands dirty with real-world issues need apply!

You will:

  • Be directly involved in system and component architecture using cutting-edge grid and cloud technology
  • Take ownership of, and extend/refactor, existing Java applications with an eye for long-term scalability
  • Write lots of cool code

You should:

  • Know Java, XML, and the usual slew of libraries like the back of your hand
  • Be able to write fancy joins and generally navigate around MySQL databases
  • Have built scalable systems handling large amounts of data
  • Have a strong knowledge of fundamental algorithms, data structures, and runtime analysis

You're even cooler if you:

  • Are comfortable with GridGain, Hadoop, and/or map-reduce implementations in general
  • Have worked extensively in Spring/Hibernate and other modern web frameworks
  • Can talk lucidly on the subject of data-node affinity
  • Could write a b-tree from scratch and analyze its performance
  • Like to play with scripting and functional languages as well, like Python, Ruby, Perl, Scheme, Haskell, or Erlang
  • No fear of higher mathematics
  • A couple of years of experience building backend systems for an Internet startup, Internet advertising network, or Search Engine
