FullContact - Denver, CO or Riga, Latvia
We're a TechStars Boulder 2011 company focused on fixing the contact information problem. Our mission is to make contact management a thing of the past. We're still a small company (&lt;35), but looking to make key additions of important team members.
We clean, deduplicate, and search for contact information millions of times daily and maintain billions of records.
We've been on HN for our Person API which turns an email address or social handle into a full profile about a person (minus private contact info, e.g. phone/email/things we haven't seen publicly). This API has billions of indexed profiles and crawls public sources 24/7/365.
We have massive challenges to solve, in usability, simplicity, scale, and raw smarts. It's not easy to maintain billions of records, link them, and dedupe others automatically. But we want it to be stupid easy for our users.
= I want:
* Smart new team members I can learn from and teach. Our company is all about learning, and every person has something to offer. You don't need to know our stack.
= If you:
* Like to keep shipping, but work sustainably
* Be respected and respect others
* Simplify
* Be candid
* Trust each other
* Keep the BS to a minimum
* Build open-source software
* Work on a world-class JVM stack that doesn't have too many skeletons
* Java/Scala/Clojure
* A little Go too, but sssh. ;)
* And perhaps a smattering of Python
* We do like our tech, but only in the pursuit of "getting shit done."
* Like to work with some of the most interesting (and dangerous) data in the world, and lots of it. We take privacy super seriously, and you should too.
* Are creative. All of our positions require excessive creativity and out of the box thinking.
* Have experience with programming. We don't require you to know Java or Scala or Clojure, but that's a plus. Smart people can learn quickly.
= And would like benefits such as:
* Unlimited vacation. As long as you aren't screwing your team (or vice versa, we all need a break)
* World-class healthcare. Seriously, I haven't seen coverage like this anywhere else. It's insane.
* Power-day policy. Take a day off, make it up elsewhere. Somewhat vestigial with our unlimited vacation, but it's a good way to take a day off with almost-zero-notice for days when the slopes are killer.
* A healthy work-life balance.
* Going to industry events. If you want to talk to me, I'll be at Cassandra Summit with my team members, one of whom is presenting his work on a Cassandra SSTable reader for Hadoop.
= Then we have a few positions that may be of interest:
Engineers:
☆ Android Developer
☆ Data Engineer
☆ Senior Software Engineer (come work with us!)
Crucial product/sales/design:
☆ API Account Executive
☆ Applications Product Manager
☆ Product Analyst
☆ Director of UX
