Blackfynn is looking for an experienced Senior Back-End Engineer to join our growing engineering team. We’re looking for someone that enjoys working in a diverse development environment and loves tackling tough engineering problems.

ABOUT US

Our Engineering team designs, builds, scales and optimizes the infrastructure and services powering Blackfynn’s data platform, which is leveraged by our end users and internal data science team.

We’re a team with diverse backgrounds that value working on products that make a meaningful difference. We appreciate healthy debate, curiosity, transparency, and getting things done. Above all else, we’re looking for people who are mission driven and wish to use their talents to make meaningful impacts on people’s lives.

ABOUT OUR STACK

Our code is well tested, thoughtfully designed, and well-structured. We view software development as a craft. We care deeply about user experience in a field where it is often lacking. We’re not language or library zealots nor are we afraid of a diverse toolset; we use the right tool for each job.

Today, our engineering team makes use of:

• Languages: JavaScript, CSS/SCSS, HTML; Scala and Python APIs; Rust CLI; clients for Python and Matlab
• Frameworks: Vue, Vuex, Ramda, Scalatra, Akka
• Visualization: D3, Vega, canvas
• Infrastructure: AWS and Terraform
• Datastores: Postgres, Neo4J, and DynamoDB

Although experience with our existing stack is great, we’re MOST interested in engineers who are able to take the complex tasks our users perform and distill them down to intuitive experiences.
