Gloo, headquartered in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, builds software for people and organizations dedicated to improving lives. We’re leveraging the same exponential tech that’s driving success in other industries and making it available through tools such as big data, custom assessments, an engagement app, and eventually an entire market network focused on growth. As one of Boulder’s most successful and innovative tech companies, Gloo needs more talented professionals who are driven to make a positive impact on humanity. Are you one of them?

 

As an experienced Software Engineer, you bring solid knowledge of Scala to the team.  You are solution-driven, a quick learner, and have strong communication skills, especially when relaying technical information to non-technical people.  You are equipped to drive the direction for new patterns as well as surfacing potential improvements in the existing platform. Your excitement about the latest capabilities in integrating disparate systems shines through when working with colleagues and customers alike.  We have worked hard to build a healthy and transparent team that truly enjoys working together.  If this is the environment you have been looking for, we want to talk to you!


## How you’ll be spending your days:

- Mostly developing in Scala to build a Spark-based data processing pipeline to transform (cleanse, normalize, match, dedup, etc) raw data into analysis-ready/usable data for our applications, growth platform services, and our data scientists
- We're running our data processing pipeline in a managed cluster with dynamic auto-scaling and so bringing experience around performance optimization, speed, and ease of deployment, version control, and maintenance.
- Evaluating and handling/processing large amounts of new data from varied sources. This will lead to the development of new functionality in our data pipeline (both for ingress and for consumers) and will provide LOTS of job security as we help organizations grow their people.
- Continual efforts to bake in data privacy and security with everything we do. Data privacy and security is of the utmost concern for us.
- Pitching in wherever you can to continue to make our workplace amazing!
