This may be the perfect job for you if:

• You have expert experience programming in Java and strong experience programming in Python
• You ideally have some experience in web-scale data and large-scale distributed systems, with bonus points for it being on cloud infrastructure.
• You have a product mindset. You are energized by building things that will be heavily used.
• You have familiarity with big data search technologies (e.g. Elasticsearch, Lucene, Solr, CloudSearch, etc.)
• You have experience building multi-language text processing, scraping, or data pipelines (real-time or batch) on large datasets for the purposes of information retrieval, machine learning, or data analytics.
• You enjoy query and analysis tuning for the benefits of low latent, highly relevant search.
• You have worked on and understand messaging/queueing/stream processing systems.
• You design not just with a mind for solving a problem, but also with maintainability, testability, monitorability, and automation as top concerns.
• You can balance complexity and simplicity.
• You are a strong collaborator.
• You value ownership.

Technologies we use and practices we hold dear:

• The right tool for the right job over we-always-did-it-this-way
• We pick the language and frameworks best suited for specific problems. This usually translates to Java and Spring for developing services and applications and Python for tooling.
• Packer and Ansible for immutable machine images and automation
• AWS for cloud infrastructure
• Infrastructure (and everything, really) as code
• Automation for everything: CI/CD, testing, scaling, healing, orchestration, etc.
• DynamoDB, S3, and Elasticsearch, for storage and query
