Back-end Engineer (Oakland, CA)
You have experience in back end development (experience working with audio/media management is a bonus). You are passionate about technology, media, learning and data wrangling. You LOVE Amazon Web Services. You are able to get your hands dirty with implementation and scaling. You are excited to power a constantly growing index of podcasts, transcripts, and data about audio. You are comfortable working closely with other engineers on a small team. Your car might have an XKCD bumper sticker right next to “I heard it on NPR.”MORE
