(Los Angeles, CA)
the Rubicon Project is on a mission to automate buying and selling for the $65 billion global online advertising industry. Backed by $42 million in funding, we are currently looking for the best engineers in the world to work with us in Los Angeles taking it to the next level.
Team DescriptionThe mission of the Interfaces team is to utilize the best available technology to create maintainable, testable, well documented, standards-compliant cross-browser user interfaces and APIs. Our customer facing application is an extremely advanced web app. If terms like usable, extensible, dynamic, testable, intuitive, object-oriented, maintainable, whiz bang, and amazing apply to the work you've done, you'll fit in well here.
the Rubicon Project delivers 2 billion+ ads per day. AKA: we deal with big data. We process nearly a trillion data points daily and have to represent that information to mere mortals. What we have built to solve these problems include:
- An ad-hoc reporting tool allowing arbitrary combinations of intelligence data and optional deferred job running.
- An extension to the Zend Framework providing object caching hierarchies, parrallelizable jobs runner, parrallelizable automated test runner, custom error handling and user impersonation mode.
- A custom ORM that provides secure object access by default, object factories, session management, advanced error handling, automatic message queue insertion for changes.
- A custom development tool providing push-button deployments, instant dev environment setup, one-line branching
- A data object descriptor system allowing arbitrary attachment of attributes and values to any data entity, facilitating comparison of disjoint objects in a common way.
- A RBAC system allowing fine grained control of all user interface widgets and data.
- Many JQuery plugins including a custom grid implementation, advanced file uploader, custom form validator, magic combo boxes, and find as you type hinting.
Your job, should you accept it, is to extend the functionality of our system. This will require that you can fix bugs in code other people wrote, talk to product managers and ensure that what you are building is what our customers need, and engineer testable new features and components from scratch that fit within our technology ecosystem. Sometimes you'll have to do this work when you are not in the office, so working remote can't scare you off.
Guru level Javascript, CSS and HTML skills are a natural part of the job. You must be proficient in a Unix flavored shell, and have above average RDBMS skills. Our front-end system is written in PHP, but it's OK if your expertise is in some other language provided learning our system is enticing to you.
You should also have worked with and/or designed service oriented architectures, advanced db schemas, object oriented systems, ajaxy web applications, MVC frameworks and are well aware of the issues surrounding the software lifecycle. With 3-10 years experience we expect that your resume will be Web 2.0 Buzzword Compliant, as well as include your CS bachelor or masters degree.
Bonus points for experience with the technologies we work with:
- JQuery
- MySql
- Zend Framework
- RabbitMQ
- MongoDB
Job Perks: In addition to standard benefits like health, dental, vision insurance, and 401K plans we also throw in perks like generous stock option packages, free gym memberships, catered lunch and dinner, a well-stocked kitchen with healthy snacks (and free vending machines!) and happy hours.
