AngelList

BranchOut is growing exponentially, and with growth comes scaling challenges. It's a great problem to have, and now we need to hire great engineers that have the experience and creative problem-solving skills necessary to build a top-tier data architecture.

You: You have hands-on, in-the-trenches experience scaling large social applications (on scale of Facebook). You can design and capacity-plan for tomorrow's load today. You have a keen eye for identifying common use cases and decoupling logical services. You are very familiar with MySQL (esp. Percona) as well as various NoSQL technologies (Mongo, Redis, Riak, HBase, Hadoop, etc.). You are passionate about learning new technologies, but can pick the right tool for the job -- even if it's a boring old relational database. You can code. Really well. Finally, you excel as an independent actor in a fast-paced start-up environment.

Us: We are an exciting, well-funded, growing company that is changing the way the world thinks about careers, job boards, and personal networking. We are in the SOMA. We offer competitive salaries, equity, full benefits, unlimited PTO, foosball/ping-pong/free-throw challenge/Nerf, and multiple catered meals per week. We are a really fun group of people that work hard and play hard together.

Primary tech: Java, Spring 3, MySQL, Percona, memcached, Solr, Lucene, Maven 3
