ShareThis | Palo Alto, CA | On-Site | Full-Time

Most people know us for our social sharing widget which powers sharing for over 3MM sites and apps across the web - and generates a billion social events per day ( > 1.5TB of data). But what makes ShareThis a fun and challenging place to work is how we use that data to power a suite of real-time data and media products for our partners and advertisers.

We're hiring engineers who want to: - Hack on a tech stack that includes the latest in tech: Kafka, Google BigQuery, Meteor.js and Docker - Sift through TB's of social sharing data to provide real time insights and intelligence. - Work in a truly agile and lean startup environment.

Multiple open positions- Software Engineer (Big Data - Kafka, Hadoop, Cassandra, Java) Software Engineer (Full Stack - Meteor.js, PHP, JavaScript, BigQuery) Software Engineer (Infrastructure)

We're backed by prominent VC firms like DFJ, Blue Chip, T-Venture - who've also funded companies like Tesla, Twitter, Skype and Box.

TechEmpower - Los Angeles area, California (El Segundo, near LAX) - ONSITE

You may recognize us from the Web Framework Benchmarks that have been discussed on HN periodically: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

We hire people, not skill sets. If you're a smart, motivated developer who likes our company culture, let's talk.

Over the past 17 years we've cultivated a great group of people to work with. Our developers are smart, thoughtful, respectful to each other, opinionated, dedicated, and fun. We don't hire often, and when we do, we value these qualities as much as technical abilities.

    Challenging and varied projects
    Informal, comfortable environment
    Intelligent, engaged people
    Lively, respectful technology discussions
    Frequent mentoring
    Easy camaraderie
    General culture of helpfulness and friendliness
Teams at TechEmpower are typically between 2 and 6 people. Because of the small size of our teams, we need developers able to work on all aspects of an application ("full stack" developers). We rely on individual developers to do much of the software design, with guidance and discussion, and actively work to improve each other's technical capabilities.

On average, a typical developer will get exposure to 3 or 4 different projects over the course of a year. Since each project has a different technology stack, developers gain varied experience over time and never stop learning.

We pride ourselves on doing the best work we can for our clients. This means working with them to really understand what they need built, carefully planning how to do it, and delivering what we promise while maintaining a sensible work/life balance. We build quality applications and have fun doing it.

The technologies we use vary over time with our mix of projects. Here is a snapshot of the technologies we use at the moment:

    Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, C#, Ruby, PHP
    Tools: Git, Docker, Jenkins (Continuous Integration), Sonar (static code analysis), IntelliJ, Eclipse, Ant, Maven
    Web: Jersey, .NET MVC 5, Django, Node.js, Go, Rails, Handlebars, Backbone, Ember, Angular, Knockout, Servlets, jQuery, etc.
    Mobile: iOS, Android, PhoneGap
    Hosting: AWS (EC2, RDS, etc.), Rackspace Cloud, Linux deployments
    Data Persistence: ORM (Hibernate, etc.), MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, NoSQL (Redis, Riak, etc.)
