Socrata | Seattle | Full-time — <a href="
Socrata builds cloud-based software that democratizes access to public sector data, enabling individuals, businesses, and governments to understand their communities more clearly and make better decisions. Our products power open data portals for many major cities, states, and federal agencies [0, 1]. Much of our work is released as open source [2, 3] and we enjoy engaging with the broader community through Open Seattle [4].
We’re looking for strong engineers across a variety of teams. DevOps engineers are working on our Mesosphere/AWS/Chef runtime platform. Front-end engineers work primarily in Rails and Angular, with a gradual introduction of React underway. Back-end engineers tend to write Scala or Java, though there are other languages in the mix as well (notably Python for some of our machine-learning projects).

(On a personal note: I've been with Socrata for eight months and I'm thoroughly impressed with the engineering culture. We've got a talented, dedicated, and pleasant team here, with strong communication/collaboration skills and a genuine interest in the company's mission.)
