Description:
Company: The Mechanical Zoo (www.themechanicalzoo.com)
The Mechanical Zoo is home to a new type of search that makes it easy to find subjective information. Our
team includes experienced entrepreneurs, ex-Google engineers, and a
philosophy professor working together in downtown San Francisco.
Because we’re in early stages, we
can’t share more details of our products in this posting, but will
provide in-depth demonstrations and alpha testing accounts to qualified
applicants.
Role: Senior Systems Engineer
The Mechanical Zoo engineers are careful
implementers who are curious about how things work. They lean on large
levers to get more done, faster, and enjoy applying new tools to
the
new opportunities afforded by today’s web. They endeavor to solve
real-world problems for real people (including the rest of the
company), and aren’t afraid to think big. As a senior systems
engineer, you bring strong technical chops and a desire to think big
and build our systems to match.
General requirements:
- B.S. in CS or Computer engineering from a leading institution (M.S. preferred)
- 5+ years direct technical experience in Systems Engineering for web-based products with experience in distributed
systems, network programming, database implementation, web search infrastructure, or storage systems in Java, C++, or a
similar language
- Proven ability to deliver end-to-end systems under pressure and tight deadlines
- Affinity for rapid prototyping
- Flexibility when faced with complex challenges
Compensation: Commensurate with experience and past performance, likely in the range of $60K-$120K plus early-stage equity
