Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

Overview:

Does your dream job include being a part of a core team of top-notch developers building next generation technologies that change the way people work with real-time information everywhere? Are you looking for an opportunity where your ability to solve problems and to learn quickly is more important than your background with specific technologies? How about a position where you have a stake in what you build? We are small developer-focused company working on a distributed real-time platform. If you have experience and interest in these kinds of problems we'd love to hear from you.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Flow you will be building cutting edge real-time technology for developers and corporations big and small. Duties and responsibilities include building out our real-time platform as well as supporting a growing list of technology-forward clients. We believe very strongly in individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and enable our engineers to innovate around challenging problems every day with little formality. As a developer you'll be able to make meaningful contributions to our core platform and services.

The core skills we're looking for include Java, as well as some functional programming on the JVM (Scala/Clojure) but we are open to people with slightly different skill sets -- the ability to quickly dive into the deep end of cutting edge technology challenges and make it out of the pool alive and ready to dive right back in is much more important to us. 

Key technologies: 

Java, Scala and/or Clojure, Python

AMQP, MongoDB, Redis

Strong Unix Skills

Bonus Technologies:

XMPP, Elastic Search, WebSockets, Functional Programing (clojure, scala), High Availability, Distributed Systems

Requirements: 

The ideal candidate will possess the following:

- Self-motivated and enjoys working autonomously with a lot of freedom

- Strives for the most elegant and simple solution to complex problems

- Embraces the challenges and benefits of working with cutting edge software
