It’s been a while since I was in HR and much seems to have changed in my absence - for example, gone are terms such as Computer Programmer; the withering look I received when using this terminology with TJ (our VP of Backend Engineering) said it all. Now apparently we must talk of Ninja’s, Guru’s, Rockstar’s (if you’re a combination of all three are you a ninjockru?) which seems odd to me as I what under the distinct impression that what we’re actually looking for is 3 x Full Stack Engineers.
If you know of anyone in NYC (or wanting to move to NYC) who’s looking for a great opportunity please do send them our way (fse@visualrevenue.com), we promise to take care of them!
So without further ado here is what we’re looking for:
3 x Full Stack Engineers
At Visual Revenue, we collect tons of data for our ever-hungry predictive analytics engine. This needs hard engineering problems to be solved under conflicting constraints of scale, real-time, and cost. Also, we believe in wow-ing our users with incredibly useful, functional, and beautiful user experience – be it customers who use their browsers/ipads, or developers who use our API’s.
We want to build more, with less. That means less code, less people, less time. Also means more libraries, more tools, and more automation. We use great libraries/tools spanning the entire development spectrum like nginx, varnish, git, gevent, mongodb, jquery, webpy, scipy, and fabric, to name just a few. If it comes down to it, we craft our own stuff with python, javascript, and any other language that suits the task. We even pay for some of the stuff we use – like Amazon’s EC2.
We are looking for full stack engineers who are smart, and get things done. They need to be tenacious and wear multiple hats; these hats are colored server, browser, ops, [insert-your-engineering-area-of-choice], api, tools, automation, research, and heavily overlapping. Out of these emerge salaried full-time-and-more positions with entrepreneurial benefits (Wednesday Love, 60 hour weeks, free Diet Cokes, an office jump rope, unmatchable learnings – and EQUITY). We are experienced entrepreneurs and have exited positively 3 times (and yes, we also failed once).
If all of this just clicks with you, we should meet over a can of Red Bull or other poison of choice, as soon as possible! Shoot us an email with your resume fse@visualrevenue.com.
