TapFwd | Full-stack Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time | Tapfwd.com You're a generalist in the true sense of the word. You don't know what challenges tomorrow may bring, but you're happy to hack away at them - from high performance back-end applications to sophisticated web apps. You love the uncertainty and ownership that comes with working at an early stage startup. If you need someone to hand you a well-packaged engineering puzzle, then this job isn't for you - you'll see projects through from concept to production to iteration. Please apply at Tapfwd.com/careers Requirements: - Master of at least one scripting language (e.g., Ruby, Python, etc.) and at least one compiled language (e.g., Java, C/C++). Bonus points for Java and Ruby experience. - CS degree from a top school (or equivalent experience and talent). A strong background in CS fundamentals is a must for this position. - An appreciation for the delicate balance between expediency and elegance. You're a detail-oriented perfectionist who understands that sometimes "perfect is the enemy of good." - You must be incredibly smart and a fantastic engineer. - An all-around nice person who wants to surround themselves with other nice people. No jerks allowed. - Excited to work in downtown San Francisco. We will relocate you if necessary. Bonus Points: - Hadoop/big data experience. Experience building high-performance, reliable distributed systems. - Entrepreneurial blood. We’d love it if TapFwd were a stepping stone on the path toward starting your own company.
