Society6 is looking for an Application Engineer to join our engineering team at our Santa Monica, CA office.

A big vision calls for a big job.  As we grow, our need for an Application Engineer grows with us.

Society6 is home to hundreds of thousands of artists from around the globe, uploading and selling their original works as 30+ premium consumer goods from Art Prints to Throw Blankets. They create, we produce and fulfill, and every purchase pays an artist. Simple but huge.

Society6 is built on a LAMP stack and is hosted on AWS.  The site serves millions of page views per day and our servers process thousands of requests per second. Our development team follows agile development methodologies and ship code via CI.  While we expect engineers to test their own code we utilize a combination of black box testing and heavy automation to minimize negative impact to the business. 

Leaf Group is a diversified Internet company that builds platforms to enable communities of creators to reach passionate audiences in large and growing lifestyle categories.  We create amazing experiences that celebrate the best of art, design and technology.  We want people with an intense curiosity, a commitment to high quality service, who embrace the fun of the journey. Come help us disrupt and transform the digital media and art world!

We work in a fun, collaborative environment that is diverse, adventurous, and open-minded. We encourage all of our employees to learn and grow personally and professionally so they can assume greater responsibilities and advance their careers within the department or within one of our operating businesses.
