Findery is seeking an early team member to help with our zeroes and ones â€" our RESTful API, our databases, our search, and more. You’ll be working to build a scalable site focused on social media, relationships and geo. You’ll work with front-end developers, both web and mobile, to get them the data they need (and fast!); with the ops team to set, measure and implement performance goals; and with our product team to implement awesome features in the smartest possible way.
About Findery
We’re a small team based in an awesome office in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood and want to meet creative people eager to help others share the places that matter to them.
Founded by Caterina Fake, chairman of Etsy and co-founder of Flickr and Hunch, Findery lets people create, share, and discover notes about the places around them. We want to build something that millions of people will use and love. We want people to put our company name on their license plates; to make cakes with our logo on them; and to meet on Findery, fall in love, and live happily ever after. We’ve built something like this before, and it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of our lives. We’re doing it again.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for people who have a reputation for building cool things, a knack for learning and reaching just outside their comfort zone, and a passion for creating a virtual space that will foster real-world experiences. Finally, we’re hoping to hire people with the confidence to voice opinions and offer help, but have the humility to welcome opinions and ask for help.
Plus, you oughta be fun to be around.
Preferred Skills:
• You have 3+ years of experience writing expert object-oriented code. (We’re a Ruby on Rails shop, so Rails experience is a plus.)
• You have similar experience working with relational databases and can read raw SQL. (We use MySQL and Redis.)
• You have experience with Apache or Nginx and know your way around the Unix command line.
• You can make things hum, knowing when to sweat milliseconds and when not to. You have experience with caching.
• You’re eager to try out ideas and push code every dayâ€"we iterate rapidly here and deploy continuously.
• You know that simple, sustainable systems win and that adding a new feature sometimes means refactoring old code. You code fast today, but are always laying groundwork so the whole team can code fast tomorrow.
• You love the product and its features, and you also enjoy building tools to monitor and improve the application architecture. (devops ftw!)
• You can work with a big code base with other developers (we use Git) and communicate that work with both technical and non-technical folks.
To apply: Please send an email to jobs@findery.com telling us about yourself and what you love to work on. Share all the stuff that you feel help describe who you are and what you've done (GitHub, blog, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn etc.) Attach your resume as a PDF.
