That said, our website uses AngularJS, jQuery, and nginx, while our backend uses AWS, Java (the good parts), and PostgreSQL.<p>You have a pragmatic, results-oriented personality. If “ship first, refactor and optimize later” describes your development approach, we’re the team for you.<p>We don’t have gratuitous perks, but we have what counts: Free snacks and catered meals, an excellent health and dental plan, and free membership to a gym across the street.<p>Seriously, working here is awesome. As one engineer puts it, “we’re like a family bent on taking over the world.”<p>If you’re interested in a full time job at our office in Menlo Park in Silicon Valley, please email jobs@apptimize.com.
