Union Metrics - <a href="http://unionmetrics.com" > - San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX
We are a fast-growing, profitable startup building powerful social media analytics software. Every day our systems process more than 130 million social events and deliver analytics for thousands of paying customers.
We have two open engineering positions:
* Data Engineer (Austin, TX)
We need an engineer who wants nothing more than to wrangle massive amounts of data. Do you love to build on top of open source technologies like Hadoop and Cassandra using hundreds of servers? Do you enjoy working in a polyglot environment with plenty of variety? If you're passionate about building the infrastructure to process, analyze, and store hundreds of millions of events every day, then we want to talk to you.
What you'd be doing:
- Implement stream processing pipelines to handle hundreds of millions of messages and events daily with Java and Ruby
- Use open source tools and data stores to analyze and store billions of data points
- Build workflows to make data accessible to end users
* Apprentice Data Engineer (Austin, TX)
Would you love to do the above but feel like maybe you don't have the necessary experience?  Maybe you're a recent grad that wants to work on distributed systems, or maybe you've got a strong programming background but have never had the chance to work on high volume stream processing problems, or maybe you're something completely different.  Bottom line: if you're interested in learning how to build the kinds of tools we use to process and analyze data, we'd love to talk to you.
You can find more info about these positions at <a href="https://unionmetrics.com/company/careers" > and you can find out more about us at <a href="https://unionmetrics.com/company/about/" >.
