Senior Full Stack Developer – Remote

Aggregage is building the next generation of B2B media and marketing. We launch business segment specific sites that bring together the widest content set from industry thought-leaders and use social media, machine intelligence/smart algorithms and big data personalization to compile newsletters with the most relevant content for each and every reader. Using our proprietary technology platform, we curate and rank hundreds of pieces of content coming daily into each site using the audience’s social media signals. Our technology personalizes the content so that each reader sees the most interesting and relevant content. We have launched over 35 sites and using our highly scalable platform, we are planning to launch hundreds more.

Come join an experienced and successful group of founders – Clicker, eHarmony, etc. – and their team at this groundbreaking time. We are profitable and capitalized for growth over the next several years. Our billion dollar potential is based on a real business model, not just hope and dreams.

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our small, but passionate team.  You will work closely with your fellow development team members to help us build out features and scale the systems.

We believe in building the best team possible, regardless of geographic location. That said we have meetings and collaboration time that overlaps with the US Pacific Time Zone so team members must be able to be available during some of those hours each work day.

As a team we strive for:

Stakeholder and team impact.  Our business is based on doing great things for our stakeholders: subscribers, bloggers, partners and clients. The best teammates are the ones who, regardless of function or discipline, are eager and excited to find a way to connect their work directly to stakeholders and teammates.

Trusted independence with interdependence. You are fully trusted as a full owner of the work you do; self-determined, responsible, accountable, and celebrated.
Learn and improve. We are in a constant learning and improving mode.  We learn from what happens without worrying about something that doesn’t achieve the desired outcome.  We continuously retro across the organization to improve.

As an engineer, we hope you strive for:

The ability to work independently and with other engineers to develop new features and support/maintain the existing system.

The ability to work on multiple parts of a web application, from server-side logic to dynamic frontend interfaces.

Collaborate with product, other engineers, and stakeholders to understand business goals, analyze requirements, formulate solutions, and ensure the successful execution of new functionality.

Participate in code review and other forms of knowledge sharing.

Support fellow team members by developing what they need from the application.

Experience and Skills we are looking for:

3+ years with Java, in particular with large codebases and several thousands of users. An understanding of how to organize code for clarity and maintainability.

3+ years experience in developing complex client-side functionality using HTML, JavaScript with JQuery, and CSS.

2+ years experience developing web applications with Java Frameworks such as Spring, Dropwizard, or Wicket.

1+ years experience working with MySQL, including schema design and query tuning.

1+ years deploying on Linux servers, using command line tools and performing basic server administration tasks and system performance analysis.

An excellent “system intuition.” We have complex systems built up over more than 8 years which require a strong ability to debug and quickly understand what is going on.

Excellent planning, communication and collaboration skills.

Understanding of best practices for web development, software design, and DevOps principles.

Nice to have, but not fully required experience:

Previous remote working experience.

Prior client services, consulting, or freelancing experience.

Working in a startup environment.

Working on web applications that process large volumes of data and/or receive high volumes of traffic.

Java performance analysis.

Mustache templates for server-side rendering.

Using Lucene or SOLR for full-text indexing and searching.

Git source control management.

AWS and Terraform.

Ant or Maven build tools.
