Dstillery - NYC, New York

Dstillery is hiring Back-end and Full-stack Engineers!

We're on Crain's Best Places to Work in NYC list and Forbes' America's Most Promising Companies list. We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, we have a company band, game nights, and regular lunch-and-learns and dev seminars where we talk tech and learn from each other. We prefer getting work done to punching a clock, so we keep sane hours and don't track vacation.

Join us, and you'll gain deep experience developing systems at scale, you'll work with a world-class data science team (winners of multiple KDD Best Paper and other awards) that keeps us on the cutting edge of machine learning research, and you'll gain direct exposure to the ins and outs of the rapidly growing and evolving adtech industry. We're still pretty small on the engineering team, and everyone gets their hands dirty and makes a real impact.

We write mostly Java, but we've got some C++, Python, and Clojure as well. Hadoop/Yarn, Cassandra, Mongo, and Kafka are big parts of our stack, and we're always looking for new tech that helps us work at scale. Experience with these is a big plus, but if you've never used them before that's fine too, if you're eager to learn. If you write clean, tested, working code, think through problems, and deliver on time, we want to talk to you.

Contact me for more info, jason@dstillery.com, or apply:

Senior Software Engineer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/dstillery/jobs/36447
