Adzerk - Raleigh-Durham, NC
We're a small, but fast-growing startup working on a revolutionary Internet advertising platform. We're looking to hire an engineer who is interested in working in a fast-paced environment geared around continuous learning and personal responsibility.
As an engineer at Adzerk, you'll work on all parts of our system, from the front-end web UI to the engines that serve the ads. Our system uses C# (Mono), ASP.NET MVC, jQuery, MongoDB, Hadoop, and RabbitMQ, and we're experimenting with investing heavily in Node.js, Redis, and ZeroMQ. Performance and scalability are our two primary concerns, and with the traffic and growth rates that we're experiencing, lots of the lessons that you've learned start to break down. Because of that, it's not as important what you know right now – what matters is how quickly you can learn and adapt.
* Your work will have an immediate and profound impact on our product and business.
* We ship code dozens of times a week, and you will write code and push to production on your first day.
* You will be responsible for making important decisions about what tools and libraries we use.
* We prize open source contribution. You should have a GitHub account already.
* Unlimited vacation. We work hard, but at a sustainable pace.
* Flexible work schedule, including working at home part-time if you want.
If you think you might be a great fit, drop us a line at jobs@adzerk.com.
- brh_jr 14y agoWhy do companies say they are in Raleigh-Durham and they are in Durham or vice versa? Why not just say Durham? Even worse are the ones that say Raleigh and they are in Durham or Cary. Do companies in other cities do this same misdirection?
- mumrah 14y agoIt's just an annoying convention around here. My best guess is because the street address can be one of 5 or 6 cities (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Apex, etc) and so people talk in terms of the metropolitan area which is Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill or the "triangle".
- javery 14y agoMost of us actually live in Raleigh so we want to make sure people searching for Raleigh in the thread find us. (from North Raleigh it's about the same time to either Downtown Durham or Downtown Raleigh)
- philhippus 14y agoRaleigh* Durham; So I start Monday?
- joeyo 14y agoI think it's because of the airport code (Raleigh-Durham/RDU). Because of that, people who aren't from the area think that the two cities are a lot closer than they actually are. As a former Durham native, I've always said Durham-Raleigh. :-)
- brh_jr 14y agoWell for techies it seems it should be Durham-Raleigh, because most of the jobs are there. I don't consider RTP to be a real place it is really just Durham.
