Greetings all!

Subutai Corporation is looking for a Lead Server Programmer for its PULP platform. PULP is an end-to-end system for the creation and publishing of social-enabled content across a wide variety of connected platforms. PULP supports collaborative professional and community authoring of a wide variety of content types (prose, images, video, games, etc.), by providing workflow, collaboration, canon & arc management, asset management, and community feedback services. PULP also serves as a multiplatform CMS and integrated commerce system, allowing for content, commerce and community services to be automatically optimized to a wide and increasing number of end-point devices, and for the user experience to be seamlessly integrated across heterogeneous touch points. The first implementation of PULP can be seen in Neal Stephenson's & Greg Bear's The Mongoliad at http://www.mongoliad.com/.

The PULP Lead Server Programmer will be responsible for the evolution of the PULP services codebase, and will work closely with the PULP product manager and engineers to develop new capabilities and to refine existing features. The successful candidate will be expert in:

  • Getting things done, as a general skillset
  • Practical software engineering, with a bonus for facility in Python and Django
  • Developing and launching web-based applications
  • Agile development methodologies
  • Wrangling third-party APIs
  • Coding for and measuring/optimizing performance
  • Communicating with non-engineers when useful
  • Release management
  • Design and use of relational databases

Our ideal candidate will have 5+ years of solid experience in software engineering for large-scale consumer web applications, and will have experience with web CMS and community systems. Affinity for a startup environment and a passion for computer programming are essential. This is a full-time position in San Francisco.

Subutai Corporation is an employee-owned company, founded by best-selling author Neal Stephenson and a team of technology startup and content industry veterans, and backed by some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs. We are based in Seattle and San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, and the chance to help build the future of publishing alongside some of industry's leading visionaries and most accomplished technologists.
