At Firebase, we're completely reinventing the database.<p>Every database to date has been built using a request / response paradigm, and it has been intended for use only be servers on a local network. Firebase is different. It's built to be accessed directly from client devices, and it uses a real-time synchronization approach that makes building modern applications radically easier.<p>Firebase-powered apps can be written in a fraction of the time, require only client-side code, update in real-time out-of-the-box, and scale automatically.<p>We're making some bold claims, and we need some bold engineers to help us build this future. We're especially interested in people with strong algorithms backgrounds. If you've previously worked on the internals of databases, you've spent time optimizing networking stacks, or if you feel you're an especially strong algorithms programmer, give us a shout!<p>Why should you join Firebase?<p>First, we're one of the few small companies who are tackling tough computer science problems on a daily basis. We're in the business of handling the hard technical aspects of real-time data sync so that our customers don't have to. So, while every startup says they have hard technical challenges, we really do. You'll get to design new synchronization algorithms, invent new languages, use cool new data structures, optimize network stacks, and more.<p>Second, we care a lot about cultivating a great work environment. This is our happy place. We're friendly people, we have a light-weight engineering process, and we have a sweet 3 story penthouse office in SoMa.<p>Third, you can have a big impact here. We're a small team (but growing very quickly), and you'll have a big say in the direction of the company. And, since we're serious about changing the way software is built, you could have a big impact on the way all software is made. We won't stop until the "refresh" button is a thing of the past.<p>If you're interested, send us an email at jobs@firebase.com.<p>You can see more about our open positions here: https://www.firebase.com/jobs.html
