Looking for a place where you can make a big impact from your first day on the job? Where a bleeding edge technology stack rules? Where opinions are strong and passion for technology deep? Think about a career at GIST.
We're a smart, driven, and creative technology company looking for talented and entrepreneurial people to join our team. Headquartered in the Pioneer Square area of Downtown Seattle, we're funded by two premiere venture capital firms.
Gist is focused on radically improving business communications. We're developing an extremely powerful "personal relationship management" tool that proactively gives you the most important information about your key relationships. Using a proprietary process and algorithms, Gist identifies key contacts and automatically collects relevant news and web content, personal communication history, and social connections to learn "more about who you know". Visit us at gist.com.
Backend developers at Gist design and implement support for user-facing features and data analysis involving large amounts of data. Taking into account storage, access, availability, and security requirements, they utilize algorithms and knowledge of operations hardware to develop scalable systems. They also help design, monitor, debug and deploy the server environments.
Technical Requirements:
1-3 years Ruby on Rails experience
5-7 years web development experience (Java)
Experience architecting web search technologies and/or content feed management systems
Experience managing a high-traffic site (Mem-cached, load balancing, distributed applications)
Deep database knowledge (MySQL preferred)
Extensive Linux/Unix experience
AJAX architecture experience
Knowledge of Web 2.0 landscape (what sites do you use?)
Data mining experience a major plus!
Previous entrepreneurial experience preferred
