Genius is an online knowledge project whose goal is to annotate the world. What began as a website for decoding rap lyrics and evolved into the Internet’s most comprehensive database of musical knowledge has now become a platform for adding your thoughts and commentary to any page on the Internet – simply add “genius.com/” to the front of any URL to make that page annotatable.<p>Our new product (genius.com/beta) is gaining a lot of traction, and we're looking to expand our small engineering team of only 9 people. You can see a short bio of everyone who works here at genius.com/techjobs<p>Our web backend is Ruby on Rails, we use PostgreSQL as our canonical data store, Redis for cached data structures (e.g., notification feeds) and queues, and memcached for page and partial caching. But our stack is also largely up to you: although we never use a technology just because it’s cool or current, we empower engineers to choose the right tool for the job.<p>We’re looking for Full Stack Developers, an iOS Developer, an Android Developer (building our first Android app), Front End Developers (w/ an eye for design!), and someone to lead DevOps.<p>Perks and Benefits:
Beautiful office in Brooklyn, NYC
Health, Dental, Vision
Brand new computer and phone of your choice
Best compensation of any company in NY
Generous signing bonus
Free unlimited Seamless and Fresh Direct
Gym Membership
401K Program
