Job description

We are looking for a remarkable Software Development Engineer to join us! We've built a team of not just the best engineers, but some really awesome humans as well. This team builds cloud software (platform + apps + ecosystem) to accelerate the flow of government data into the hands of citizens, developers, businesses and researchers. With our Socrata solutions, we impact society by enabling governments of all sizes to employ data-driven leadership.

This means a few things:

• We are solving some pretty cool data access problems (ex. how do you extract, host and visualize every taxi ride in NYC so that any resident, anywhere can access it?).
• What we do matters. New York, Seattle, San Francisco and 300+ other cities, states and counties use us to connect citizens with information that matters to their day to day life.

Software Engineers here work in teams of 4-8 devs to build scalable, distributed systems for some of the most important data on the planet. We're looking for people who are comfortable diving deep into development, learning from others, and sharing their ideas.

Visa Sponsorship: At this time, it is unlikely that we will be able to provide sponsorships for visas for this position.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship high-quality customer-facing features.
• Maintain and improve a distributed cloud platform running on AWS.
• Play an active role in mentoring other engineers.
• Collaborate with other devs, engineering management, and product owners to design and architect solutions to our business problems.

Qualifications

• We would love to talk to you if you...
• Care about scalable, robust, well-tested code
• Have experience with at least one statically typed language like Scala, Elixir, Java, Go or C++
• Have significant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript experience.
• We are currently using React/ES2016 supported by Redux, jQuery, Typescript and Ruby on Rails.
• Have experience with testing frameworks like Mocha, Chai, Jest, RSpec or similar tools.
• Show a strong track record of shipping software in the face of ambiguity
• Have and enjoy sharing your great sense of humor
• Demonstrate experience in owning all aspects of a system lifecycle, from proper design, testing, deployment, metrics and monitoring
• Share our passion for our clients' success (no really, we mean it)
• Have experience exploring, or ideally working with, database technologies including relational databases (we use Postgres) and NoSQL stores. Bonus points for experience with technologies like Elasticsearch and AWS.
• Are comfortable working in a heterogeneous development environment where you'll be working with multiple development languages and technologies. This team owns significant portions of Scala, Ruby, and JavaScript code, as well as periodically touching Python, Elixir and other languages.
• You solve the problem, not the symptoms.
