Web Engineer

The OmniTI Web Engineering team is responsible for building out software solutions for our clients. The team works on a wide variety of projects, solving existing problems and enabling new business objectives, empowered to use (or build) tools that ensure security and scalability without sacrificing time to deployment. We believe that great technology experts are also software generalists; able to build your own environments, and unafraid to jump up and down the stack to solve the problems that come our way.

About the Job

Do you want to write code that gets used by other developers around the globe? Want to work on sites with millions of users, getting millions of hits per day? Want to work on systems that are mission critical, that must move fast, and be resilient? This is what it takes to do web engineering at OmniTI.

You'll have the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies in the business and build sites that push the envelope, but you'll need to embrace responsibility to do so. The job includes:

• Building new web functionality, sometimes from scratch, other times augmenting what's there

• Finding website bottlenecks and improving website performance, both up and down the stack

• Improving deployment, monitoring, and operability in everything you do

About You

• You've likely worked with a variety of languages in your career

• Demonstrated ability to master any programming domain

• You're comfortable being the glue between front-end designers and backend ops types

• You love monitoring and trending, and like to bake that into your software

• Confident enough in the work you do to give a Sysadmin your cell phone number

Requirements

• 3-5 years experience programming for the web (Scala and Erlang preferred)

• Familiarity with front-end development (HTML/CSS/Javascript)

• Working knowledge of SQL (Postgres, MySQL, etc...)

• Experience working in Illumos, Linux, or other UNIX-like environments

• Ability to play nicely with others and work independently

• Experience with front end caching solutions (ATS, CloudFront, Fastly)

• Experience with Play, React,js, and/or other common web frameworks

If you contribute to an open source project, have a blog, or are involved in technology in some other way, we would love to hear about it when you write!
