Hiring: Full-stack Java Developers

Sematext is looking for a strong full-stack developers (remote work is cool!) who:

• Find creative and elegant solutions, build tools, avoid repetition and boilerplate code
• Take ownership and push forward; want to help build the team and the organization
• Like working with data-intense applications, continuous data streams (e.g. metrics, logs, events), visualization and data analytics
• Want to have fun, enjoy building new things and improving existing ones

Some info about our tech:

• Java in the backend, with a bit of Akka
• Java and NodeJS for various SPM agents
• A series of Machine Learning algorithms for Anomaly Detection
• HBase and Elasticsearch for storing massive volumes of data (many billions of “rows”… stopped counting long ago)
• Jetty and Kafka that handle hundreds of thousands of events/metrics/logs/messages per second
• MySQL, ZooKeeper (obviously)
• Apache Flume, rsyslog, Logstash, and Kibana
• Lots of JavaScript in the Boostrap-based UI layer – jQuery and various other usual suspects
• Flot for charting (and looking to replace that with something more modern, yes)
• Solr, but just for search-lucene.com and search-hadoop.com, which are not related to this opening
• Everything runs on AWS – we own a total of 2 physical servers

Products / Services you’d be building:

• SPM – monitoring, alerting, anomaly detection.  A lot has been done, and a lot more is in the queue.
• Logsene – log collection, indexing, searching, alerting, anomaly detection.  A lot of new features are waiting to be built.
• Search Analytics – it works, it runs, it has customers, but there is so much more value we can extract from query and click data!
• NewAppHere – can’t talk about it, but it’s going to be big… and not only in Japan

Good to have skills:

• Java – for various backend components
• JavaScript (frameworks/libraries) – if you’re truly full-stack
• We can teach you or at least help you catch up quickly with everything else mentioned above as well as custom bits not mentioned here

A bit about Sematext:

• HQ in NYC, with people in North America, Europe, and Asia
• Developers with strong open-source backgrounds
• Deep expertise in Solr and Elasticsearch – we are also a leading provider of consulting and support for tons of clients
• Some of our engineers give talks at conferences around the world and write books
• We are totally self-funded, financially independent, and profitable
