Design, build, and manage distributed software systems using service-oriented architectures and RESTful APIs.
Work across the full development stack, from data model to back end business logic to API service layer to front end UI.
Work as part of a team building a constantly expanding set of brand protection tools.

What we are looking for:

4+ years of experience shipping commercial software, including back-end development
Pride in having end-to-end ownership of a set of capabilities within complex systems
Proficiency in multiple languages including at least one dynamic language (JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.) and Java or a similar language
Experience designing SQL-backed applications
Proficient developing for Unix-based operating systems but comfortable in Windows when necessary
