Junior/Intermediate Software Engineer

This position is based in Mountain View, California.

The area: Engineering

Crowd Science's engineering team designs, builds, and maintains the Crowd Science Demographics product and the technology platform that powers it. Our projects include working on information-analysis and control system algorithms, massive scalability and storage solutions, and rich, interactive user interfaces.

We're platform agnostic, but we have more Macs than PCs. We spend most of our time hacking Python and JavaScript using things like NumPy, Beautiful Soup, Prototype, and MySQL, but we're more than happy to drop into C++ or roll our own persistence mechanism when the situation warrants.

Crowd Science engineers take part in all aspects of software development from design, programming, and debugging to deployment and optimization.

The role: Junior Software Engineer

We're looking for a junior/intermediate software engineer who’s energetic and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. You will help us design and build the components for our platform and the toolsets that support them, as well as creating clever user interfaces so any HTML, JavaScript and CSS is a plus.

We haven’t yet got a dedicated vocalist for rock band, so vocal skills are a plus.

Requirements:

• Graduate to 3 years designing/developing internet software systems.
• Prefer experience working with Python (or a good excuse as to why you’ve been using Perl/PHP/other evil language). Bonus points for Django.
• Experience or knowledge of database design and development.
• Experience of knowledge of HTML/CSS/JavaScript development.
• Bachelors degree in computer science or mathematics, or equivalent experience.
