[KITlist-Tech] Sr. Software Engineer (java) (Burlingame, CA)

Please direct your responses to: tim@coitgroup.com

About Us
Our client is creating a predictive customer analytics platform that will massively enhance online marketing. Others talk about Big Data, but not all data is created equal. They have access to some of the most valuable shopping data in the world across dozens of retailers, and we're just starting to unlock its potential with our cutting edge technology.
Our engineers have had to solve some pretty daunting technical challenges, like how to handle tens of thousands of requests per second under strict latency guarantees on behalf of hundreds of millions of users. Or how to build predictive models that evaluate hundreds of thousands of features in milliseconds. Giving bright engineers access to powerful shopping data creates countless product possibilities.

We´re quickly growing our engineering team and expanding the company platform. And that's just the beginning of our story.

Your Role
As a young company, we need team members who can do anything and do it exceptionally well. We´re hiring brilliant engineers of all backgrounds -- the unifying characteristic will be that of someone who can simply roll up their sleeves and do whatever needs to be done, even if well-outside their comfort zone. We work extensively in the areas of high-throughput distributed systems, data analysis/modeling, ad serving and web technologies.

Responsibilities
-Own the entire system implementation process: product concept and direction, system infrastructure and engineering, production setup and monitoring, and release management.
-Architect and implement scalable, reliable backend systems.
-Evaluate competing third-party libraries and tools, and provide feasibility assessments and accurate estimates for project implementations.
-Rapidly create prototypes and quickly iterate to a stable, production-quality release candidate.
-Develop tests for both standalone and distributed systems, and produce useful written source code documentation.

Requirements

-Experience or interest in distributed systems and backend development
-Expert-level proficiency in at least one of: Java, Python, C++
