Location: San Francsico CA
Wello Horld, Inc., is looking for Erlang developers in the San Francsico bay area – or for strong candidates with experience of functional programming who would like to become Erlang developers – to help us build a Web-changing real-time social media application. We have strong backing from a major Silicon Valley venture capital firm, and we’re currently looking to grow our team by adding developers who love tackling sexy problems, have a passion for producing clean, smart and efficient code, and who can communicate and play well with others in a fast-growing team.
Our technical challenges include:
- creating an innovative, distributed platform for real-time interaction on the Web
- parsing, housing and retrieving vast amounts of data to support real-time social features and business logic
- supporting a JavaScript/DHTML-based user interface
- creating an API that allows third-party developers to add a universe of functionality we can’t yet imagine
- scaling all of the above to accommodate a rapidly growing user base
We’re still a small team, so we’re looking for ambitous and energetic developers who want to get in on the ground floor of a creative startup and who are willing to contribute ideas as well as code. We have a host of sexy problems to tackle, and you’d be doing so alongside a handful of killer devs and cutting-edge thinkers, working closely with technical leads to design and implement an innovative social Web application. You’ll need to communicate clearly and play well as part of a fast-growing team, but if you can handle all of the above then you’ll have the chance to contribute to a company that has the modest ambition of changing the way people use the Web.
WHAT WE REQUIRE:
- knowledge of Erlang and/or other functional programming languages and techniques
- ability to work to deadlines, maintain clear and timely communication, and play well as part of a diverse team
EXTRA CREDIT:
- experience supporting real-time interactions across a large user-base
- knowledge of Erlang-based storage solutions like Mnesia
- thorough knowledge of XMPP and ejabberd
