Red Hot Labs | http://www.redhotlabs.com/jobs | SF, ONSITE ONLY

FULL-TIME ENGINEERS and a FULL-TIME LEAD ACCOUNT MANAGER

We're on a mission to revolutionize how mobile developers acquire users for their apps. Our product, Toro, makes it super easy to split test and optimize mobile marketing campaigns. We’re solving one of the necessary, but tedious, parts of launching great mobile apps. We believe in creating delightful experiences that are easy to use, save people time, and, most importantly, save our customers money by improving campaign performance.

This isn't our first trip around the block. Our previous startup was acquired by Zynga and our core technology turned into FarmVille and the rest of Zynga’s most successful games. It was a wild ride and now we’re full steam ahead on a new adventure. We're well backed by folks such as A16Z, Greylock, SVAngel, Data Collective, and more.

We're looking for passionate, energetic, highly talented individuals to join our team. By becoming a foundational member of our team you will help shape the direction of our product, company and culture. We’re believe in constantly challenging ourselves to learn new things and would love to teach you what we know and learn from you as well.

  maturity.  You're as opinionated and influential about product as you are about coding.  
  You're a master at JS/CSS/HTML and customer facing technologies. 
  Bonus points if you’re on-top of your front-end frameworks like Angular 
  (which we use!), Ember, or Meteor.

  - Senior Systems Engineer: You've architected and scaled backend systems to 
  millions of users.  You've put out every kind of fire and learned a lot in the 
  process. You understand the tradeoffs of different data stores, server 
  architectures, and low-level services.

OUR STACK:

  - Redshift, Redis, MySQL, Rails for our backend API.
  - AWS-suite: EC2, S3, RedShift, EBS, ElasticCache, RDS
  - AngularJS, jQuery, Underscore, Node.JS with D3 for our dashboard and web apps.
