Sr. Backend Engineer Sometrics

Sometrics is an analytics and ad platform startup company specializing in social media. We are well-funded by reputable VCs/investors (Accel, Venrock, WMA, AT&T) who share our vision and passion.

We work with social networking and community sites, developers, as well as advertisers and marketers to help them understand their user demographics to better enhance their consumers' experience. Social media is becoming increasingly important to advertisers, media, and marketers as consumers spend more and more time on these sites. We help them figure this out.

We're looking for a few hard-core developers who love large-scale distributed environments, open source tools, and interested in testing the limits of system infrastructure. PHP, PERL or Python should run in your vein, and the CLI should be your friend. We have an open working environment and encourage collaboration, teamwork, and peer performance reviews. We frequently do team building exercises and outings so we can get to know each other better and work closer together.

We offer competitive compensation, benefits (Health, Dental, Matching 401K), and a flexible work environment with a stocked fridge. Our developers are core to our business, so we do everything we can to ensure the team's success

Although the below qualification is preferred, we do recognize that any talented and smart engineer can pick up things quickly and catchup to our momentum. Your passion and enthusiasm is part of your profile.
