About You
You’ve designed and implemented distributed and highly available systems. You’ve had experience with different system architectures, and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t.<p>You know about CAP, but also know that it is very easy to misinterpret. The world isn’t as black-and-white as the one in the theorem.<p>You know how to make the appropriate tradeoffs when designing a system, and that the “right choice” will often differ based on requirements, not solely on dogma. To you, a workday is a sequence of decisions, and a finished software system is the product of thousands of decisions, big and small, that come together to form something you’re proud of.<p>You know your way around a RDBMS — you can design schemas, write queries, and debug index problems.<p>You’re familiar with a lot of NoSQL tech, and can discuss the pros and cons of various solutions out there. Bonus points for familiarity with Cassandra or Zookeeper.<p>You have a broad background in Computer Science fundamentals backed by years of experience in designing, developing, and debugging software.<p>You’ve led people and/or projects before. You can break a system up into manageable chunks, can assign them to the appropriate people, and track these tasks to completion. And you can roll with the punches when things don’t always go according to plan.<p>Our environment:<p>Here’s what we use the most (although not an exhaustive list, and you don't need all of these skills!):<p>Scala
