Senior Back End Engineer (Seattle, WA)

We are looking for a back-end engineer to help us scale our peer-to-peer storage service to the next order of magnitude of users, devices, and petabytes.
As a hard-core systems engineer, you deeply understand performance, scalability, and reliability. You have designed and implemented Internet-scale distributed systems. You are an expert in big data processing with Hadoop. You thrive on collecting and analyzing the data to identify the system bottlenecks and pinpoint the issues. You are very comfortable with databases, designing schema, sharding the data for scalability. You have a large tool chest of data structures and algorithms to pick from. You focus on the right layering and architecture. You are a perf wizard and can reason about resource tradeoffs. You pride yourself on writing well-tested, high-quality code and get it right the first time.

ROLE:

You are going to own and deliver core pieces of the backend of our peer-to-peer storage service. The position will provide many interesting, hard-core technical challenges and as much responsibility as you can handle.

REQUIREMENTS:
  • Computer Science degree
  • 10 or more years of experience developing and deploying distributed systems, cloud computing, and scalable web services
  • Depth of knowledge in scalable systems, databases (MySQL), and processing large datasets with Hadoop
  • Experienced with live web services (Linux/Apache), RESTful API design, and high availability
  • Cross-platform software development in C#/Java/C++
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently as well as in small groups
  • Passion and desire to make an impact in a fast paced, dynamic environment
  • Previous startup experience is a strong plus
ABOUT US
We are building a new kind of cloud storage system by pooling unused local storage from our users, as opposed to building big, expensive, high carbon footprint datacenters. Our cloud is every bit as reliable, secure, available, and accessible as those big expensive datacenters, but at a small fraction of the cost – which allows us to offer our users unlimited cloud storage at local storage price points. Our mission is to store the world’s data, and do our part to make this a greener planet.
We are located in Pioneer Square in beautiful Seattle, WA. We treat our employees as adults and have flexible vacation policies, along with the typical startup perks: lunches, happy hours in our break room (with the occasional ping-pong tournament), giant monitors, and great hardware.


Location:Seattle, Washington
Current U.S. work authorization REQUIRED
Direct hire, No Corp to Corp or Third-party agencies

We compensate generously for the right individual
