Job Description

Description Permutive is looking for backend engineers with Scala experience to develop our real-time data management platform. You'll use a wide range of technologies to build functionality that solves previously-impossible problems for our customers and helps them deliver value through our platform. You should be keen to own the process of building new product features and managing the whole development process, including coding, testing, deploying and monitoring. The wider context Permutive is a B2B SaaS company building the data platform and tools for a world with a trillion edge devices. We have product-market fit and customers that love us, and we're 80+ people and growing rapidly in Europe and the US. We have received funding from some of the world's best investors, including Y Combinator. We're 25+ engineers working to build an outstanding engineering culture so that everyone who joins has the opportunity and the support to do the best work of their life. Small, autonomous teams are important to us, and we want to empower everyone to make-and be accountable for-decisions through ownership. Everything we build has to scale: our platform handles more requests each day than there are new tweets and Google searches, and each month we see more than a billion users. We think applying functional programming techniques like compositionality and type-safety is the best way to build the type of massive distributed system our platform comprises, allowing us to move fast without sacrificing quality.
