Full Stack Developer (Remote)

Labs – Los Angeles, California

THE COMPANY: BRAINJOLT (brainjoltmedia.com)

What makes us different…

  • We run one of the top 20 mobile websites in the USA, according to Quantcast (22words.com)
  • Fully remote, we measure what matters and prioritize RESULTS over where you work
  • #beatyesterday is our mantra… we optimize incrementally so we’re always beating our own records
  • We’re scrappy doers who love getting into the weeds to solve problems…
  • Titles don’t matter. Results and drive do. Everyone is a chief problem solver at Brainjolt
  • Bureaucracy is bulls&*t. We don’t like red tape. We prefer to work biased to action, led by data
  • We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we enjoy playing the game and being on the journey

THE OPPORTUNITY: FULL STACK DEVELOPER

We are in need of a full stack developer who loves to design, build, and iterate web-based software for massive audiences. We’re looking for a thought-partner who is also a data-geek. Someone who loves puzzling over hard problems, and making them elegantly simple. You’ll help us scale the infrastructure that powers some of the largest websites in the USA, working cross-functionally with data analysts, marketers, and growth hackers. We work as a team, which means we’re all radical owners of the outcome. And, there’s a lot of emojis and laughter along the way. The impact of this role is going to be huge…
Specifically…

  • Work in our R&D division, Labs, doing whatever comes up (think of Labs like an on-going hack-a-thon…)
  • Build cool, new things
  • Automate and iterate on our code base that powers our data and marketing efforts
  • Have comfort working with amorphous problems that might not have straightforward solutions (specifically with data)
  • Build MVPs for internal tools, largely using Python (R would work, but we work mainly in Python)
  • Work lean, fast, and iteratively while remaining curious, open, and flexible to deliver tools, scripts, and process improvement that will change our code base (and the company’s future)

Tech Stack…

  • Languages: Python, R, JavaScript
  • Server: Amazon EC2, Apache
  • Database: MySQL
  • Caching: Redis, Varnish, Cloudflare
  • Adstack: Doubleclick for Publishers (DFP), Prebid.js

REQUIREMENTS:

  • A solid understanding of how web applications work including security, session management, and best development practices
  • Adequate knowledge of relational database systems, Object Oriented Programming and web application development
  • Hands-on experience with network diagnostics, network analytics tools
  • Basic knowledge of Search Engine Optimization process
  • Experience in common third-party APIs (Google, Facebook, Ebay etc.)
  • Aggressive problem diagnosis and creative problem solving skills
  • Strong organizational skills to juggle multiple tasks within the constraints of timelines and budgets with business acumen
  • Ability to work and thrive in a fast-paced environment, learn rapidly and master diverse web technologies and techniques.
  • A love of working in a fast paced environment
  • Self-starter, avid problem solver, energetic go-getter
