Umbel is a high-energy, high-tech start-up in Austin, Texas that is passionate about helping businesses build thriving, sustainable models powered by their ability to deeply understand and demonstrate the value of their audience.

We are seeking a Platform Engineer that loves to build incredible things. This position will work closely with all members of the product, development and engineering teams in a collaborative environment, which is diverse and open-minded. A successful candidate will obsess over high performance web development and database optimization, as well as feel comfortable in the cloud and know the latest techniques for developing and scaling web applications and distributed systems.

What You Must Have:

Cultural fit and eternal optimism. We are an ambitious startup setting out to lead a revolution. We fearlessly take big chances and know that optimism and perseverance are the keys to wild success — and we are tested on that daily. If this excites you, read on. If it makes you feel queasy, skip to the next company.

Curiosity backed by execution. This is a tech startup, and you should be prepared to geek out on the intricacies of big data or the nuances of co-ownership of data rights. There’s a lot to learn and define, and you will naturally need to be obsessed with staying ahead of the curve. But it doesn’t stop there. You must leverage that learning and turn it into creating amazing experiences both inside and outside of Umbel.

Motivation and determination. Exciting — and daunting — challenges face us every day at Umbel. We excel in the pursuit of challenging goals because we are intrinsically motivated to change the world and are determined to overcome any setbacks or obstacles on our way there.
