Earlier quoted context omitted.

I know you're just trying to build the best team you can, but in the interest of full disclosure every time I see someone say something like, "in the office where they can interact with others with less friction," all I see is "our team is bad at working remotely." If you see remote as something that causes friction, I'd recommend looking at teams that swear by it reducing friction (like the friction of noisy offices…

Not every company is a good fit for every developer. For instance: I probably wouldn't like working at Valve. I do not however extrapolate that no company should be organized like Valve, simply because I wouldn't like it there. I am happy that there are companies like Valve that work well for the kind of people who are compatible with Valve, and companies like Matasano that work well for the sort of people who want t…

We're not talking about subjective stuff like company culture, we're talking about factually disprovable statements like "you need to be in a physical office to collaborate effectively." That's an objectively false statement and it's irritating to see so many people repeat it.

Backend Engineer - Omniata, Helsinki, Finland - full time

Founded by a team of former Digital Chocolate and EA data leads, Omniata (http://www.omniata.com) integrates analytics, CRM, user engagement and A/B testing platforms into one solution. The company is well funded (http://www.creandum.com/why-creandum-invested-omniata/) & headquartered in SF.

The bulk of R&D will be done in the Helsinki office which at the moment only has a small team, so this is a great opportunity to get in early and grow with the company.

As a backend engineer you’ll be part of the team responsible for infrastructure code handling millions of events each month. Tasks will include improving existing components and creating new systems for scaling, automating and monitoring of processes. Knowledge of Perl & Bash is expected, however if you’re more comfortable with another dynamic language like Python or Ruby and have a good grasp of low level Linux, we should still talk. Familiarity with C would also be an advantage.

If you're at all interested in this area and Helsinki as a place to live and work, drop a one line email with a link to your LinkedIn or GitHub profile to careers-hl@omniata.com
