The Farmer's Dog is a VC backed direct-to-consumer pet food company. We're building a subscription based e-commerce platform to support and manage custom subscriptions and food production. We've been cashflow positive from day 1 and are growing faster than expected.

Even though we don't sound like a typical tech company we take pride in development. We've built an e-commerce platform from ground up. It consists of 2 isomorphic Redux apps backed by a shared NodeJS API. We have CI and CD processes in place, and make use of docker-based microservices via Iron.io. We have plenty of challenges to tackle from predictive analysis to optimizing fulfillment operations.

We're looking for a senior Software Engineer who's comfortable writing backend code and dealing with docker and aws. Our stack is react (and redux), node, postgres, docker and aws.

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Bing, Apple, Facebook and Groupon.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop/Spark.

We're building a database of genomic information that helps with data curation and genome interpretation for diagnosis and treatment, as well as research.

Ideally, someone with full-stack experience would provide the most flexibility in terms of responsibility, as we're an early-stage (funded) startup. We've built the first version of the product and have customers, but we have lofty ambitions and a large vision for what we can become.

Experience with Python and/or Ruby, Bash, and JavaScript (front-end, along with frameworks like Angular and React) are mostly what we need now.
