Job opening - Lead Back-End Engineer at Spontaneously, Inc (New York, NY)

Spontaneously is a consumer facing service that has web, email, SMS, and native mobile app components. Our back-end is built on a LAMP stack with PHP. You should be comfortable enough in that environment, but be able to help shape decisions about what other technologies we apply to situations of scale & complexity. Since we're still a small team, we value versatility and flexibility. Some things we've been working on lately are: (1) optimizing a messaging system across multiple communications platforms to the preferences & needs of each user; (2) automatically detecting social groups from data we collect from a range of sources; (3) predicting behavioral patterns and suggesting relevant activities and events to users; and (4) using natural language processing to turn plain text inputs from users into meaningful actionable data. We're moving as quickly as we can and shipping new features to customers every day, so there are constant opportunities to take new ideas and! build them from the ground up. You should want to build - not just groundbreaking products - but a group of formidable & enviable peers as part of your team. You would work primarily with the CTO and ideally be based in NYC.
