Syndic8 Data Management Services, LLC Jobs Hiring Now

You:

You are a one-man SWAT team. You are as comfortable designing as you are executing; you’re self-directed and confident, yet flexible enough to roll with the incredible pace of change in a small startup. You enjoy autonomy more than being given a task list (although those are fun too) – you are a true creator. There’s no room for micromanagement here.

You’ll work side-by-side with our architect, helping create the Java backend that drives the entire application. You understand that if something hasn’t been laid out for you, that means we expect you to make the appropriate analysis & decisions yourself, own your decision, and run with it. You also understand that, as with any pivot, we often have to scrap the beautiful things we’ve created to create better product-market fit.

You’ll be a skills fit if you:

• have 5+ years of architecting SaaS software from the ground up, either by yourself or in a small team
• can code Java in your sleep, and frequently use frameworks such as Jersey
• thoroughly understand the most common AWS services (e.g. S3, Lamda, ActiveMQ, Redis, etc.) and have architected using those tools in the past (Kubernetes too!)
• use JSON every day to build web services, RESTful APIs, etc.
• are an expert in MySQL – you think beyond simple joins to optimize queries before they cause production slowdowns
• have architected no-sql solutions in the past, using MongoDB or similar
• have previously built and integrated micro-services

You’ll be a character fit if you:

• enjoy the challenges and rewards of working in a *very* early stage startup (very strong preference for someone who has worked in a <50 person company)
• are constantly tinkering (we love tinkerers!)
• enjoy challenging the status quo, and constantly come to your team with ideas for improvement
• know when to check in for approval vs. run with an idea
• keep yourself organized and communicate well – we primarily use Jira and Slack to keep everyone on the same page, and we develop in coordinated 2-week Agile sprints
• view working for a large corporation as the death of productivity, innovation, intellectual stimulation, education, and pretty much any other goal of a company/job
• do not sit idle once a task is complete – you have a constant backlog of tasks, or things you want to learn
• have worked in a variety of team environments – distributed, remote, off-shore, near-shore, etc.
• think that TCP/IP is one of the most under-appreciated accomplishments of modern computing
• want to create (and we really mean *create*) a fun, hard-working environment of peers with whom you’re excited to slay the day
• don’t get wrapped up in titles, and chip in on things that need doing without asking (even if they have absolutely nothing to do with your responsibilities

What you get:

• excellent benefits, including top-of-the-line health/dental/vision/life insurance, 401k, commuter benefits, generous vacation, BYOD compensation, etc.
• flexible work environment – e.g. working from home, shifted hours, etc.
• potentially, equity shares in the company, depending on your experience
• the unique experience, pride and status that comes from being one of the first employees of a software startup
• the opportunity to build your own team as we expand, and shape the entire company/product
• the opportunity to “do it right” this time. We have all inherited someone else’s mess at some point, and wished we could build something from scratch to meet our own impeccable standards. It’s time to seize the opportunity.
