Located just blocks from the beach in Santa Monica, CA, our two divisions, Zag and Truecar.com, are currently growing like crazy and we are looking for energetic new talent.

Who Are We Looking For? Right now, we're looking for a Sr. Back-End Developer who is responsible for building the technology used to power our production websites, APIs, widgets, and internal tools. Ideal candidates will have more than seven years of professional software development experience building database-driven, web-based systems in a Linux environment.

• Optimizing and enhancing systems with high-volume data logging and processing needs, and high performance requirements
• Contributing architecture input to new systems as well as rewriting legacy systems
• Contributing domain-specific expertise by reviewing code, reviewing design docs, giving technical talks, and mentoring junior members of the team

Qualifications
• 7-10 years of professional software development experience producing web-based systems in a Linux environment
• A passion for software development, excited to teach and learn from others on a small team
• Solid understanding and practical experience using object-oriented design principles and patterns
• Extensive development experience in Python (or you really know your stuff and can pick up Python quickly)
• Experience using an RDBMS such as MySQL and comfortable enough with SQL to do more than simple selects from tables

• Experience with Django is a plus
• Experience in distributed/cloud computing is a plus (Hadoop, Cassandra, EC2, etc.)
• Consumer Internet product experience preferred
• Helping support the operation of our production services

We get that this skill set doesn't come cheap. So of course we offer a highly competitive salary and a wealth of great benefits including company equity, 100% paid family medical, dental, vision, and a healthy 401k. Add that to an environment with world class leadership, explosive growth, passion for fun, and great work.
