Amperity, a stealth-mode enterprise software company, is looking for a Principal full-stack software engineer to join our initial team as we build the next great billion-dollar Seattle company! Using the cloud, scale-out automation, data science, and a pinch of machine learning, we’re taking siloed enterprise data and turning it into integrated, actionable datasets!
Amperity is backed by some of the most notable names in tech — including Madrona Venture Group, Liquid 2 Ventures, Hyde Park Ventures, and top executives and founders from multi-billion dollar companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Concur, and Isilon Systems. Amperity is well capitalized, having raised $9M in its seed round in February. Full press release
If you thrive on solving hard problems, have a desire to push yourself to the limits, and want to have fun in the process, then we would love to talk with you about joining our team.
Interesting problems:
Our system involves ingestion of terabytes of data per day, blending batch processing with real-time events
We automatically combine data together across disparate systems, and improve this process in generalized ways
We allow users to perform complex, real-time queries across aggregated datasets
Technologies we use:
Open Source tools, such as Accumulo, Spark, and Kafka
Cloud-first automation, including Apache Aurora and SaltStack
Neural nets, random forests, logistic regression, and probabilistic databases
Emacs AND vi!
About you:
You have at least 10 years of software development experience
You have experience leading complex distributed systems
You think about scalable architectures and great customer end to end experience
You improve things by 10x, not just 10%
You have worked in a DevOps environment, and drive sustainability such that DevOps is more Dev than Ops
You have built JVM oriented production systems
Your ears perk up when somebody says “graph traversal”
You are open-minded, inclusive, and motivated to make good decisions
You bring something new and rare to the party!
