Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA, USA)

Posted 14-Jan-2014

Job Description:

As a back end engineer at Thumbtack, you'll be excited about building fast, scalable, and robust systems to support product and business objectives. You'll be working with both our marketplace users and our internal teams.

Much of what you'll be working on could be considered infrastructure. It could also be considered "magic" or "secret sauce" or "wizardry". One project might involve a swan dive into a Mongo dataset, another might be writing a massively parallel system in EC2 to crawl the web, and yet another might be building a recommender system to better match consumer requests with service pros. In other words, you won't be spending your time fiddling with floats or CSS3 pseudo-elements (unless you want to!).

Our engineering process values ownership and individual contribution within a collaborative environment. To this end, you will have a lot of choice in the kinds of projects you undertake. We expect you to take a deliberate and thoughtful approach to your decision-making while also exercising great freedom and creativity. We hope that you'll enjoy crafting sentences and paragraphs as much as you enjoy crafting methods and classes.

Technologies we currently use: Python, Postgres, Mongo, loose leaf tea.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Python
  • Great problem solving ability
  • Ability to communicate well (especially in writing)

About the company

Ever wonder why you can buy any product you want online with a single click, but you can’t hire a DJ, photographer, handyman, house cleaner, or any other service without making a dozen phone calls? So did we. Thumbtack is making it dramatically easier for consumers to hire local service pros. We have incredible traction, a talented and passionate team, have raised $12.5m from Sequoia, and are excited to be solving a real problem for real people. Come build the future with us.

Requirements

  • Must feel confident under constant time pressure
  • Strong computer science, software engineering and programming skills as the job will involve designing algorithms and writing a lot of code, mostly in python (which can be learnt on the job), also likely in C++ (again can be learnt on the job)
  • Experience with algorithms, data structures and distributed systems
  • Desire and ability to solve highly complex problems
  • Python will be the key language used 95% of the time in this role, but use of other languages is still desirable.

Cells use these networks to create and read programmes of gene expression and use these to interact with each other and differentiate into the multiple cell types that configure the building blocks of an organism. Our research is focused on how the activity of molecular networks is transformed into tissues for organ building. We address this problem through a combination of classical genetics, quantitative cell biology, image analysis and modelling.

Contract Python programmer to help with a mature but incomplete Django Admin customization project.

We are hoping to find a hard working developer for our team that is a holistic thinker. Our product is seated in Python/Django using the Django Admin heavily.

The position is 100% remote.
