Permutive is looking for a Software Engineer to connect our real-time data management platform to the rest of the world.
You’ll use a wide range of technologies to build unique and
meaningful integrations that offer unprecedented functionality to our
customers and help them deliver value through the platform. Recent
examples include our integration with IBM Watson that allows customers
to segment users in real-time based on the meaning of the content
they’ve engaged with.
You’ll be an early hire in our engineering team, and will work on
Permutive's core backend infrastructure.. Everything we build has to
scale - every minute, our API handles more requests than there are new
tweets! You should be keen to own the process of building new product
features and managing the whole development process, including coding,
testing, deploying and monitoring.
Our ideal candidate will be excited by the opportunity to join a
fast-growing start-up, in a role where you'll be able to take ownership
and make a real difference. As an early hire you will have the
opportunity to be exposed and contribute to every aspect of the
business, from product decisions and development processes to strategy.
Our ideal candidate is an energetic engineer with an interest in data, who can wear multiple hats in a rapidly growing startup.
*Who We Are*
We’re a small team trying to make big data actionable by anyone. We
believe that enterprise companies build clunky platforms which make big
data confusing, frustrating and boring. Manipulating billions of data
points should feel like you’re being plugged into the Matrix; not into a
90s accountancy package.
Our technology is fundamentally different. Every day we process
billions of events across hundreds of millions of users - and we give
results in milliseconds. We’ve built the world’s fastest Data Management
Platform and the implications are huge.
Revenue is growing super fast; we’re working with flagship publishers
and marketers; and we’re beating billion dollar competitors in market.
On route to this, we’ve been backed by some of the world’s best
investors, including Y Combinator, EF and Octopus Ventures.
Behind the scenes our goal is to build an incredible company with an
extraordinary culture. We’re looking for people who are excited by
growth, embrace responsibility and are excited by enormous challenges.
It’s a really exciting time to join, experience start-up life and shape
who we become.
*Requirements*
We think to be brilliant in your role you really need to have:
• Experience working with REST APIs in Scala/Java
* Interest in batch and stream data processing
• Able to communicate technical concepts clearly
• Have a broad understanding of software engineering concepts
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
* Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline
*Nice-to-Haves*
• Experience with messaging systems and distributed data stores
• Experience building and deploying microservices
* Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP
• Familiar with stream processing frameworks
• Familiar with the Akka framework
*Benefits*
In our mind the real benefit is to join a team where you have a laugh
together, have a huge personal impact on decisions and get excited
about things together. It’s that incredible team feeling of ‘You’re my
team and we’re gonna smash this’.
As a VC backed start-up we hope you’ll gain a huge amount from working with our team.
And, of course, there’s other perks too.
