Iconfinder - Copenhagen, Denmark

Full-time developer

IconFinder is looking for an awesome full-time code slinger to join our development team and jump straight into moving our core platform forward. Being both a search engine and an e-commerce marketplace for icons, we're looking for a hacker with a passion for all things Web.

We're working full steam on providing not only the best search experience but also the best shopping experience for icons. At the heart of our platform is a young Django application backed by a PostgreSQL database and an elasticsearch cluster, which is used by more than 2.5 million people every month.

We're looking for an inspired, self-motivated and creative developer, who wants to make a dent and inspire others to do the same. As we've only just scratched the surface of our ideas and the opportunities Iconfinder holds, we're looking for a savvy colleague to help us move Iconfinder ahead even faster.

Need to have

At least two years of professional Python web development experience. Solid frontend expertise including experience using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. Experience in working on database-driven (PostgreSQL or MySQL) web applications using open source MVC-esque frameworks (Django, Rails, etc.), and running them in production on Linux systems using open source stacks (nginx, memcached, Redis, the lot.) An unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a solid amount of professional pride. An eye and love for design. Nice to have

Knowledge about Django. A relevant degree, like computer science or graphic/web design. Semi-mad design skills. Appreciation for great coffee. Interested?

Please send your resume and/or GitHub profile etc. to jobs@iconfinder.com. If you have additional questions, feel free to call Martin at: +45 61 69 67 81.

Our offices are in Copenhagen, Denmark. We are currently working from the office sharing space, Founders House.

One Kings Lane (http://onekingslane.com) in San Francisco, CA.

We just moved into an historic warehouse building on 9th and Market downstairs from Twitter. We plan to add dozens of engineers, data analysts/scientists, and more (including non-technical roles) as we grow from >$200M in revenue this year toward profitability: https://www.onekingslane.com/corporate/careers/tech/

Our platform is barely a year old, mostly Ruby on Rails, Hadoop/MongoDB, Redis, Node.js, PHP/Zend Framework, jQuery, iOS/Objective-C. Our stack has enough variety that you can start contributing immediately with what you do know, while continuing to expand your skills into areas you want to know.
