So if you excel at architecting web applications at scale, enjoy the challenge of writing optimised lightning fast SQL for massive data sets, have experience structuring extensible data and application logic, and are passionate about designing high quality service APIs, then we'd love to hear from you! Requirements * Experience with Javascript, preferably Angular 2, TypeScript, ES6 or other common JS libraries * Proficiency in other web development languages, such as Python, Golang, PHP and Ruby * Relational databases and SQL, preferably MySQL * Linux experience * Background in web engineering at scale * Bachelors Degree in Computer Science / Engineering (or related); MS or PhD a plus * A Github page with contributions to open source software Benefits This won't be a cog-in-the-machine type of job; you will be joining a global company that values attitude and capability over experience, so if you are looking to make a difference and be rewarded for your efforts, this is the place for you. We are striving to shape the future of work, so help us scale to 100+ million users, while enjoying all the perks of working in tech - fun atmosphere, smart people, awesome office, fully-stocked kitchens (yes, free food!) , social events, hackathons, and more!
