* Develop and expand our technology for importing data from brokerages and other data providers
* Build systems and monitors to ensure the imported data is reliable and accurate
* Lead other engineers who are fanatical about web scraping challenges

* Expert in developing (PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, or C++)
* Extensive experience building scalable, reliable distributed services
* Knowledge of Amazon Web Services, NoSQL, or Statistics is a plus
* Interest in investing a huge plus
