Arachnys, London - https://www.arachnys.com/jobs/

Startup building the next generation of intelligence gathering software for emerging markets.

We're hiring:

* Devops engineer * Full stack developer

Both in the £30-60k range. See the jobs page for full spec.

We have fun challenges: on the data side, we have 100TB+ of data in Hadoop that is growing every day, a 10TB+ ElasticSearch cluster and some pretty fun custom crawling tech written in Python and deployed via Ansible. On the other, we have a frontend app that we want to turn into the best investigative experience on the market.

Team is small - 13 at last count - and we're at break even with some huge customers already on board. You'll be coming into an environment where every commit counts, where we automate everything we can, and where we try to use the best tools for the job.

Email founders@arachnys.com if you're interested and think you've got the skills. No remote and no visa sponsorship.
