Back-end engineers | Alar Software | Chicago, IL | Full-Time ONSITE | 80K + & options based on experience, paid parking, stocked kitchen & doggy (doggy not edible) Please email resumes to hiring@alar.net We’re aiming to aggregate logistics data to enable customers to operate more efficiently and connect them with other logistics companies. We believe we’re on to something big, but to get there we’re working through end-to-end complex problems in a complex and old-fashioned domain. We’re taking an unconventional approach (event sourcing with a twist and a touch of farmville) and dealing with big data to boot. Because of this complexity, we're limiting our search to two kinds of people: experienced engineers who can bring structure to the chaos as we grow, or those applicants who can make up for lack of experience with passion and creativity. Please don't apply unless you can demonstrate one of these somehow. Back-end stack: Migrating from C# to Scala. Also a bit of postgres, some simple mongo for non-critical functions, and ASP.NET.
