Description: |
We're looking for a seasoned performance engineer. You know the thrill and the terror of an unexpected traffic storm that's railed your application. You think on your feet, adapt and make a genius patch that let's your servers hold to see out the storm, then hit the whiteboard to start architecting a solution that will handle the next storm with ease.
About Lolapps
• We're a scrappy startup in the social game space with 50 million unique users a month.
• Our belief is that social gaming represents a massive opportunity to bring gaming to the mainstream. People should ask, "what kind of games do you play?" not, "are you a gamer?"
• Our cash flow history is mostly positive, which makes us pretty much the opposite of your typical echo chamber Silicon Valley startups.
• We raised $4m in an A round with Polaris Ventures and value-add angels including Ron Conway and Ariel Poler.
• We're only 35 people. You can make a MASSIVE impact here.
• Our office is in San Francisco located in the heart of SOMA.
• We have all the typical startup stuff (free food, Rock Band, great city views, etc). Check out our office: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lolapps/
• Free yoga classes at the office
You'll get to:
* Work in an innovative space that is expanding into a billion dollar industry.
* Design and implement large chunks of scalability features.
* Help make key infrastructure decisions (databases, replication
layouts, caching solutions, etc.).
* Experiment with the newest emerging open-source technologies.
* Test your ideas and strategies out on millions of users and enormous data sets.
* Head up a small team of experienced engineers (if you are willing and able).
* Have fun. Play ping pong, foosball, video games.
* Eat. We buy your lunches.
Ideally, you:
* Love python and can code it in your sleep.
* Working knowledge of Linux, scripting, and SQL.
* Understand when MySQL is great and experiment with NoSQL solutions (Memcached/Mongo/Redis/Cassandra)
* Know how to put together a web-application stack. (We use Pylons/Paste.)
* Enjoy bouncing ideas of your teammates to build up solutions no one person could of thought up by themself.
* Care about your implementations and find yourself compulsively checking that your latest experimental deploy is working the way you thought it would.
