Summary

Position: JAVA LEAD

Location: NEW YORK, NY (LOCAL ONLY)

Project Scope

(Only for those who can speak Mandarin OR Cantonese)

To drive our future growth, we need to dramatically scale our platform and build new products. Client growth is explosive, and only great problem-solvers, collaborators and thinkers can help us take it to the next level. If that sounds like you then keep reading!

We want to hire lead developers that are eager to have significant influence on a massive technology overhaul using nothing but the best products, patterns, and practices!

We believe in decoupled, message-driven, and distributed systems. We strive to keep codebases small and manageable. We're interested in reactive design patterns that will make our systems more resilient and responsive yet remain elastic to change. As we proceed through our technology roadmap we are evaluating new community endorsed technologies for every tier of our platform. Our backend tiers are presently JVM-based.

We are using or considering technologies like Kafka, Spring Boot, Angular, Bootstrap, REST, Chef, Terraform, Openstack, Azure, Elasticsearch, NoSQL, Docker and so on.
