Job TitleThe BranchOut team is a small group where everyone is part of the creative process. The ideal candidate is creative yet pragmatic, comfortable multitasking yet able to focus on a problem with laser-like intensity, and (above all) a fast learner. Our codebase is written in Java, but we're not really looking for heavy J2EE expertise. A few years experience with high-traffic web-development patterns is much more important, regardless of the stack. You may, however, be asked to provide a code sample in Java.ResponsibilitiesIntegrating features with various third-party APIs, including Facebook Graph APIDesigning custom search functionality with LuceneWorking closely with product design and front end UI to perfect user experience and reduce frictionBrainstorming new features and product directions (if you work at BranchOut, your input is valued, no matter what your job title is)Improving in-house analytics tools and merging performance metrics from a variety of sourcesDevelop overall strategies and implement scaling solutionsRequirementsJava, J2EE Expertise.5+ years development experience, preferably working with high-traffic web-development patterns or on the Facebook platform.BS degree in computer science or related fieldCompensation/Benefits/PerksCompetitive base100% benefits coverage for all employeesWork with smart peopleBuild an amazing productStrong equity packagesKiller new offices, SOMA, great viewsStocked fridgeKegarator (the good stuff)
