Job Description

We are looking for an awesome backend engineer to join our team! This person will extend our back-end system architecture and develop services that will scale to tens of millions of users.

Qualifications

Some things that we look for:

Track record of delivering. What have you shipped recently?
Ability to acquire new technical skills. Your past experiences can certainly help you at the start -- see the next section -- but it's your ability to learn that matters most to us
Your ability to consider complex trade offs. Can you break down large problems into smaller ones and think through the implications of your decisions in the context of the complete system architecture? You should consider multiple approaches and be able to explain why you selected the one you implemented
Attention to detail. You find the corner cases and make sure they're covered
Sense of humor. We're very serious about building our product and company -- your stand-up routine won't get you hired -- but we believe a few moments of levity along the way makes everybody's lives better

Experience that will help you hit the ground running with us:

Implementing systems that leverage data stores that scale horizontally and understanding when a given data store provides an appropriate solution for a given problem
Creating fault-tolerant systems that make the devops team happy to deploy your code
Using Python to build web services. You don't have to know Python to join the team, but it'll help you get started
Designing and implementing REST APIs
Writing appropriate unit and functional tests to enable rapid iteration
Working in a *nix environment

Additional Information

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
