San Francisco - We're looking for engineers to join the web application team at Loggly. We're growing quickly and have multiple positions open, but right now we're very interested in Fullstack, Frontend, and UI Engineers.
Who We Are:
Leader in cloud-based log management. Check out our site (www.loggly.com) for more information.
Tech Stack:
We have a pretty sophisticated client written in Angular, and a backend written in Python (Django) and MySQL.
What we're looking for:
Pretty much what any good engineering team is looking for: competent engineers. We're not looking specifically for people who are Angular or Django experts (although we certainly wouldn't hold it against you).
That was vague, give me some specifics:
- You have had at least 3 years working on an engineering team (We're not at a place right now where we can help junior engineers succeed in their careers)
- You love what you do
- You know the basics, and you know them without hesitation. For example, if you're a frontend engineer, you should be able to do a basic 2 column layout in raw html/css without looking anything up or using bootstrap, or be able to implement a function like _.filter in 2 minutes (because you thought it was really easy since you understand javascript really well and you've worked with it enough where it's pretty much second nature to you)
- You ask questions when you're confused, and aren't afraid to push back or say no when someone asks you to do something that's a terrible idea. (Full points rewarded if you usually offer them an explanation of why that's a bad idea, and what it would entail to do it correctly, but you still get points for being able to say no)
What we offer:
- Standard perks to make your life awesome at work, and outside of work (good pay, free meals, time off whenever you need it, healthcare, dignity... sorry, got carried away)
- An awesome team invested in making sure you succeed
Email vincent at loggly dot com with a resume, or a github link, or some kind of material that shows you're a good engineer.
