Senior Software Engineer at a Small, High Growth Startup at BuzzStream (Austin, TX) (allows remote)
WHO WE ARE:
BuzzStream is a seven person, self-funded SaaS company based in downtown Austin that’s growing fast and that’s built a product that our customers love. We have over a 1,200 paying customers, our annual revenue is $1M+ and it’s doubling every year.
WHAT WE DO:
BuzzStream helps marketers find and build relationships with influencers to drive traffic and build brands. Our customers include some of the most well-known brands in the world and many, many digital agencies.
We’ve just scratched the surface of the things we can do to help our customers, and we know we can grow at a much faster rate if we keep delivering on our roadmap. We need your help getting there.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
BuzzStream may be a good fit for you if…
- You want to work at a place where virtually everything you work on impacts the business and you know exactly how everything you build helps the customer.
- You don’t want to be pigeon-holed as “the guy/girl who works on the [XYZ] part of the product.” You’ll be working on every part of the product and you’ll constantly be learning.
- It’s really important to you to work on a team where every person cares deeply about building great software that solves real problems. You need to be somewhere with no bureaucracy, no pointless meetings, and nobody on the team that provides limited value but succeeds as a result of fake hustle and strong political skills.
- You really want to learn what it takes to build a startup, but you’d rather not learn through the “I learned what not to do” method. We’ve made plenty of mistakes, but we’re past the stage of trying to figure out how to build a successful business.
We’re looking for a mid to senior level software engineer, but we’re much less concerned about the specific level of experience than we are in finding people with the right attitude, ability to learn, and approach to solving problems. Part of our team works remotely, and we’re open to remote work for this position for the right person.
Our app is written in Java, deployed on Amazon’s cloud and utilizes several open source dependencies. Expert knowledge of Java and Linux are required. Experience with AWS and modern javascript technologies is a plus.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in, We’d love to hear from you. Along with your resume,please include a cover letter telling us a bit about yourself and why you’re interested in BuzzStream.
