BuzzSumo | buzzsumo.com | REMOTE (Must be citizen in UK, France, Germany, or USA) | Full Time | £55,000 to £65,000 BuzzSumo provides social insights to marketers and publishers. We run extensive crawlers that crawl the entire web 24/7, storing terabytes of data that need to be indexed, processed and queried. Our SaaS product is used by over 3400 customers, ranging from publishers like BuzzFeed to Fortune 500 brands like Disney. We are looking for a backend engineer with at least 3+ years of Ruby experience. We prefer candidates with experience working with either large Elasticsearch clusters, or enterprise-scale Sidekiq deployments. If you hate front-end work, or love writing crawlers, you're probably what we are looking for :) Our entire team works remotely. What you'll be doing: - Build new backend features for the BuzzSumo platform using Ruby as our main programming language. - Possible NLP work involving topic classification - Occasionally perform devops-related tasks such as upgrades on existing infrastructure (ie Elasticsearch servers) Tech Stack - Elasticsearch - Sidekiq - Ruby/Ruby on Rails - Postgres - Redis Note: Due to employment laws, we can only hire someone who is based in 1 of these countries: UK, France, Germany and USA. The role is remote, however. Contact henley@buzzsumo.com with your resume if interested, and mention HN.

If you have an EU entity, you should be able to hire anyone in the whole EU (EEA).

  That's sadly not the case: EU citizens can work everywhere in Europe, but employing people across Euro countries is not easy at all. You need legal advice to comply with both your country's and the employee's country's laws, some countries require an actual registered office/entity, the employee protections e.g. in Italy and France make it very hard too. This is for employment, of course. You can contract someone from anywhere, regardless of EU or not.

    Seems like I've been wrong then, sorry. This was the impression I got from our HR office (it is true that we require relocation).
