We:
- at https://www.leadcandy.io – are solving the problem of how people find and reach out to each other – a google map for people and relationships.
- Use PHP, MySQL, Neo4j, Sphinx, AWS, Git
- Are seeing excellent user-traction
- Have 22 billion connection paths that are exclusive to Hachi, which you won’t find elsewhere
- Featured by MIT Tech Review, Techcrunch, Business Insider, and others
- Recipient of California Excellence Award 2013 (for software), Nominee World Technology Award 2012 (presented in association w/ TIME, CNN, Fortune, Technology Review, Science & Kurzweil AI; previous nominees include Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest)
- Have tons of data-engineering and data-science problems for you to solve.
- Provide the flexibility to work from any location.
What we are looking to do –
- We have some technical debt that we accumulated – blame it on inexperience, hurry to keep up with user-growth, adding more features, etc. Now we want to fix things and put a rock solid platform for future growth.
- Oh, and we cannot stop scaling, so we need to re-architect things while meeting demand-growth.
- And we also need to add new features, to keep our competitive edge.
You:
- Cringe when you look at bad code and bad practices. But instead of cribbing, you set things right, even educate others.
- Are a really strong developer, preferably good in PHP (at least familiar, if you are exceptional otherwise).
- Have experience with database / query tuning and performance.
- Polyglots get bonus points. Experience across different types of languages gets mega-bonus points. Open source contributors get a red-carpet welcome to the interview.
- Have some experience working with a legacy system and then incrementally re-architecting things, adding tests, etc.
- Are disciplined about unit testing, continuous-integration and other good habits (honestly, we are not yet there and we’d like your help)
- Are a good communicator.
- Believe in data-driven decisions.
