Job Description:

I am terabytes of data. You are the programmer that can query, visualize and make sense of me -- interactively. I am held on dozens or hundreds of computers. You are the programmer that can write the application which makes those computers work together. I am a terabytes of transactional data, or tweets, or electromagnetic survey information. I'm messy and complicated. Let's face it: I'm high maintenance. Because I am terabytes of data and not just a gigabyte of data, these tasks aren't easy. You will work with industry visualization experts, and teams of programmers from around the world. My buckets of gigabytes hold the key to finding bad guys lurking in the shadows, keeping planes running on time, or the best strategies to keep customers happy. Classic computational strategies won't work on me, because our clients want answers now, not in the next overnight batch run. The program you write on me will strain our infrastructure. You'll help define requirements to improve that. I am terabytes of data and I want you to come work for me! OK, actually I'm not terabytes of data. I'm a programmer looking for allies to work on killer projects. My company is looking for creative people who know how to build big distributed software. Perhaps you have experience with medical, finance, astronomy, climate, or earth sciences data at this scale. We're interested in you no matter the buzzwords you've picked up, if you can leverage the tools you know and have an open mind (or even a rebellious one) about the tools we need - C++, Java, Scala, Python, C# - whatever gets the job done. If a good day at work for you involves finding a factor of 10 in speed or scalability that everyone else was sure wasn't there, then you'll like our petabytes. As part of your submission, please describe a time when you had to troubleshoot a distributed system: how you diagnosed the problem and steps you took to ultimately address it. Expero is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. Our focus is solving challenging problems, not where you came from or how you live your life. We are an E-Verify workplace. Requirements A big brain, strong work ethic, lots of curiosity, and an eagerness to learn new things and wrestle projects to the ground. Oh, it probably would also be good if you: + were familiar with some data stores, some relational (Postgres, Oracle, MySQL, SQLServer) and some not (DataStax Enterprise, Cassandra, ScyllaDB, JanusGraph, HBase, Neo4j, OrientDB) + knew your way around the Java ecosystem -- Java, Scala, whatever -- though we see Python, C++, Golang and C# quite often in this space also + felt comfortable around highly distributed environments using, e.g., Cassandra, Spark, Hadoop, Mesos, Kubernetes + had experience with Docker or other container services + enjoyed occasional travel to client sites -- when we're going that sort of thing again. Benefits 1) A team that will energize you or exhaust you, or both! 2) Projects that keep technical gurus interested 3) Health benefits 4) Retirement plan with company matching 5) Immense work flexibility as long as the work gets done and the clients are happy
