It uses Kafka, Redis, and MySQL for data storage and analysis. We are a DevOps organization building a 12-factor microservices application; we practice small, fast cycles of rapid improvement and full exposure to the entire infrastructure, but we don't take anything to extremes.\n\nThe position offers excellent benefits, a competitive base salary, and the opportunity for equity.

Our goal is that systems should scale linearly with our customer growth, and the effort of maintaining the systems should scale sub-linearly.\n\n* Contribute to a culture of blameless learning, responsibility, and accountability.\n\n* Manage your workload, collaborating and working independently as needed, keeping management appropriately informed of progress and issues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\n\n\n\n\n* Experience building systems for both structured and unstructured data.\n\n* AWS infrastructure development experience.\n\n* Mastery of relational database technologies such as MySQL.\n\n* You are collaborative, self-motivated, and experienced in the general development, deployment, and operation of modern API-powered web applications using continuous delivery and Git in a Unix/Linux environment.\n\n* Experience and knowledge programming in Golang or Java\n\n* You have experience resolving highly complex data infrastructure design and maintenance issues, with at least 4 years of data-focused design and development experience.\n\n* You are hungry for more accountability and ownership, and for your work to matter to users.\n\n* You’re curious with a measured excitement about new technologies.\n\n* SaaS multitenant application experience.\n\n* Ability to understand and translate customer needs into leading-edge technology.\n\n* Experience with Linux system administration and enterprise security.\n\n* A Bachelor’s degree in computer science, another engineering discipline, or equivalent experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote to Agencies and Recruiters: VividCortex does not engage with unsolicited contact from agencies or recruiters.  Unsolicited resumes and leads are property of VividCortex and VividCortex explicitly denies that any information sent to VividCortex can be construed as consideration. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Engineer, DevOps, Amazon, Git, SaaS, Golang, Linux and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

In short, we’re a team of self confessed geeks who love tinkering and tweaking until something is just right and are looking for someone who thinks and acts like us.\n\n**Location**\n\nAt Compucorp we are a distributed team and we welcome people to join us from all around the world, however as a UK based Company some overlap with UK hours will be required.

We use PDO and mysqlnd/mysqli for database connections. Experience in Python, Perl or other scripting languages helpful. We believe in the using the right tools for the job.\n\n* Unix experience is a requirement - we’re on Ubuntu/Centos so you shouldn’t be afraid of the shell.\n\n* We use Git for our version control\n\n* Javascript for use in Node.JS, jQuery for front end work\n\n* HTML5 (Working knowledge is fine. Our designers take care of the heavy lifting here)\n\n* General knowledge of PHP frameworks\n\n* Apache, nginx, virtual hosting and dedicated\n\n\n\n\nDatabase management experience in: \n\n\n* MySQL\n\n* PostgreSQL (Amazon Redshift experience a bonus)\n\n* Elastic Search (Amazon CloudSearch a bonus)\n\n\n\n\nWhat you get:\n\n\n* Competitive salary based on experience + reimbursed health care\n\n* Work with bleeding edge technology on a daily basis\n\n* Immediate use of your work. We don’t sit on code for 6 months before it’s live. You’ll be working on a tight schedule and seeing immediate results.\n\n* Direct access to the decision makers.
