WebAction - Downtown Palo Alto, CA. Local only

http://webaction.com

Hiring Lead Front-End Developers, UI/UX designers, Web Developers, and Big Data Platform Developers (java).

WebAction is a real-time big data platform that bridges the gap between users and terabytes/petabytes of diverse, fast moving, and physically disparate data with a simple, SQL interface and state-of-the-art visual app designer. We do this by offering high-speed acquisition of over 50 types of data sources with pre-built adapters, distributed stream processing and caching, and real-time querying of stored data in one platform. As a result, our customers rapidly create real-time, mission critical data-driven solutions that would normally take months to years of development effort with a mish-mash of multiple paid products or development-intensive open source libraries.

Founded by a team of Silicon Valley veterans with proven track records (CEO of WebLogic/GoldenGate Software, executive team from GoldenGate software), WebAction is backed by some of the most respected names in Silicon Valley. We're also well funded (recently raised $11m Series B by a private equity firm with a $15 billion fund).

We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits package, generous equity for the right candidates. Our office is also a short walk from some great restaurants and coffee spots on University Avenue in Downtown Palo Alto.

For the Lead Front-End Developer Position:

-Turn mockups and wireframes into functional, fluid web components

-Implementing beautiful and robust dashboards using d3.js or other js/HTML5 charting libraries

-Building re-usable dashboard-development frameworks

-Creating user interface and web apps for various industry applications like ATM monitoring, predictive fraud detection, and data center monitoring

Requirements:

-Strong knowledge of Javascript, CSS, HTML, and jQuery

-Enthusiasm for working in a startup environment

Nice to haves

-Experience with Backbone.js, angular.js or other front-end MV* frameworks

-An interest in the type of scalable systems you hear about at Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

-You’re interested in telling stories and revealing anomalies through data visualization

For the Platform Engineering position, we ask that you have experience writing clean code in Java and have a strong desire and skills to work on a scalable, highly optimized data management infrastructure. We ask that you have the following skills:

-Large-scale distributed systems

-Highly available, highly scalable architectures, Hadoop (MapReduce / Pig / Zookeeper)

- Data Serialization (Avro / Thrift / Protocol Buffers)

- Experience with HBase or Cassandra or Elasticsearch

-Real-time messaging (0MQ / Kestrel / Kafka or similar), Real-time event processing, Continuous Queries

For the Web Developer position, you should be well versed in HTML/CSS/jQuery. You should be able to work with designers to create visual components that maintain the integrity of the design while achieving fluid performance in the browser.
