Zemanta (an Outbrain company) | Multiple positions | Ljubljana, Slovenia | Full Time - Onsite | https://zemanta.com
At Zemanta, we're building the most advanced native advertising platform in the world. Our recent acquisition by Outbrain is a testament to our cutting-edge tech and the strong team that built it. Despite the acquisition, Zemanta lives on as a standalone product built by a small (15 engineers), passionate team based in the beautiful city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. There is still a lot to do to keep up with the growth of our business, so we have a bunch of positions opened:
- Full-stack engineer to build new features and scale our user facing dashboard (Django, Angular, AWS, Postgres, Redshift)
- Backend engineer to grow our RTB (real-time bidding) infrastructure that currently processes 200k bid requests/second (Go, Python, Kafka, Aerospike, Hadoop, Redshift)
- Data scientist to work with the large volume of data and optimise our prediction algorithms (stack: Python, Jupyter, Go)

If you haven't read it yet, highly recommended, much better than my rant.
This piece first appeared as a comment on this page in ENGLISH in July 2012: http://www.zemanta.com/blog/i-bet-you-over-engineered-your-startup/
