Online Buddies, Inc./Cambridge, MA
If you'd like to take a crack at the type of scalability problems Google, Facebook, Youtube, and Wikipedia are dealing with, you need to be part of our Technology team. Our multiple social networking sites combined serve over three million active users. Developing and maintaining sites at that scale presents a completely new set of exciting problems that we are working to solve.
Our team is composed of seasoned LAMP Engineers, UI/Usability Engineers, QA Engineers, Database Architects & Administrators, Systems Engineers, and veteran Managers. In the past year, our team has created the new version of our flagship site from the ground up. Now, we have an ambitious road map that will bring new and cutting edge Social Networking functionality to our members. Specifically, we'll be working on intuitive UI design, efficient Search Algorithms, Chat Rooms, Domestic and International Billing Systems, Advertising Tools, Mobile Development, Video hosting, Data warehousing & analysis, and several other exciting projects.
We are committed to developing robust, cutting-edge web apps and we believe everyday should be a learning experience for our employees. While working on a given project, you will get to flex your muscles with several different technology layers. As an engineer, you'll also have complete freedom to setup your own work environment and use the tools you prefer. Our workplace is a great mix of Windows, Linux, and Mac. Access to the preferred software, hardware, books, and online resources is something all engineers enjoy. A casual work environment, competitive salary, and an industry-leading benefits package are all part of the deal.
Some of the technologies we are currently using are PHP 5 (LAMP), Symfony, Ruby, Mysql, Memcache, APC, and Smartfox. The best candidates will have proven experience developing web applications utilizing these technologies. OOP design/development on a high-volume, high-availability, large-scale LAMP system, especially using a PHP MVC Framework, will earn you extra points.
If you are up to the challenge and the idea of working on a highly visible site turns you on, send us your resume. We'll make sure you never have a boring day!
