WebAction in Downtown Palo Alto - Full Time Hiring Front-End Engineers

Jobs@WebAction.com

WebAction is a streaming analytics company based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our goal is to make real-time, predictive analytics simple. Every component of our platform is controlled by a web-based drag and drop app designer and/or a declarative, SQL-like language. This enables our customers to focus on rapidly solving their business challenges, rather than being consumed in building out big data infrastructure. As a culture, we love challenges and strive to improve our product everyday.

===Front-end/UI Engineer position===

With the power of the WebAction platform, our mission is to build new visual interaction models that combines real-time analytics and predictive computations. This means we want to streamline the process of bringing data into our platform, visualizing it, and managing analytics pipelines for users with ease.

Our front-end stack includes HTML/CSS, JS/JQuery, Backbone, LESS, D3.js

===More about WebAction===

It's founded by a team of Silicon Valley executives with multiple successful exits in the enterprise (our CEO has sold 1 company to Lockheed and 2 companies to Oracle). We've raised north of $11m since 2013 and our advisors/board have done amazing things like creating the Apple logo and founding one of the top VC firms in Silicon Valley. With every product release, we delight our customers and engage new ones at an ever-growing rate.

We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities.

We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:

- Platform engineer. Be responsible for our infrastructure in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.

- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.

- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.

- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.

- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of P Python, and some C and Java.
