Job description
SPAN is hiring mid to senior Polyglot Software Engineers!
SPAN is a technical strategy & software engineering firm headquartered in San Francisco, with dev offices in the Old Castle Brewery in Woodstock, Cape Town. SPAN’s founders (Andrew Sather, John Harris & Chris Lyon) created & evolved everything from iTunes-top-10 consumer mobile apps to Class-2 FDA-regulated cloud-based healthcare systems to the Shazam mobile app.
We are lucky enough to be home to some of the smartest, most gracious people building a unique, best-in-class, not-super-huge, citizens-of-the-world 21st-Century technology firm.
Our team consists almost exclusively of senior people working closely with our founders to invent radically capable things for global clients:
- Apple
- HERE [open location platform]
- Beats Music [music streaming service]
- Walmart Labs [idea incubator for the world's largest global retailer]
- Major League Baseball Advanced Media/Bamtech [multimedia & live streaming]
- HBO Now, WWE & EuroSport
- Player Pro [social soccer network]
- Pandora [music streaming service]
- 3DR [drone data platform]
- Denon [wireless music]
Our open source full-stack polyglots use Java, Scala, Ruby, Python, C, C++, ES6, NodeJs, ReactJs, Spark, Splunk, Akka, Redis, PostgreSQL, SQL, SPARQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Gearman, Kafka, Elasticsearch and whatever else required to:
- Create custom microservices
- Develop, deploy & operate, sophisticated large-scale SaaS solutions
- Develop feature-rich, cross-platform apps and product frameworks
- Model & design systems architecture
You’ll love it here if:
- You are allergic to hierarchical, bureaucratic, business-card cultures
- You're sad many of the greatest minds in our generation are busy tricking people into clicking on ads
- You want to work with very smart people from radically different backgrounds
- You are a voracious learner & an eager teacher of others
- You want to be led from the front, not commanded from the rear
- You don't tolerate intra-office posturing or other douchebaggery
- You're excited to work on a broader array of interesting, challenging projects than you can anywhere else
What we offer:
- Very flexible work schedule & untracked leave
- Learning organisation based on a reverence for expertise & craftsmanship (Meetups, PyCon, ScaleCon, Lunch & Learning Fridays, monthly San Fran thought-leaders etc)
- Catered Friday lunches, on-site haircuts, pet friendly workplace ...
- Macbook Pro Retina’s, noise cancelling headphones, dual monitors, ergonomic chairs, the usual startup perks
[Only SA based candidates will be considered. Please no recruiters]
