Software Engineer - Silicon Valley
PopSample is building an online platform that will allow publishers, researchers, and advertisers to tap into the opinions, attitudes, and demographics of the collective audience of thousands of websites.
We’re a pre-launch startup backed by a top tier VC firm.
This position is in Silicon Valley, but we also have an office in Toronto, Canada.
The area: Engineering
PopSample’s engineering team designs, builds, and maintains the PopSample technology platform. Our projects include working on advanced information-analysis and control system algorithms, massive scalability and storage solutions, and rich, interactive user interfaces.
We’re platform agnostic, but we have more Macs than PCs. We spend most of our time hacking Python and JavaScript using things like NumPy, Beautiful Soup, Prototype, and MySQL, but we’re more than happy to drop into C++ or roll our own persistence mechanism when the situation warrants.
The role: Software Engineer
We’re looking for a seasoned Software Engineer who will be responsible for designing and building components of the PopSample technology platform. PopSample engineers take part in all aspects of software development through design, programming and debugging, and deployment and optimization.
At this stage we’re flexible enough that we could fill this position with either a specialist front-end engineer (Python/Django, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), a specialist back-end engineer (Python, SQL, networking, optimization), or an all-rounder.
Requirements:
* Several years of experience designing/developing large-scale internet software systems.
* Bachelors degree in computer science or mathematics, or equivalent experience.
* Deep familiarity and opinions on internet protocols and formats like HTTP, REST, JSON, and Atom.
