Overview

Loggly is seeking a Front End / UI Software Developer to join our Software Engineering team. Loggly is the world’s most popular cloud-based enterprise-class log management solution.  We’ve recently received $15M in new funding to accelerate our rapid growth and we’re staffing up.

Our customers send us an explosive volume of log data 7x24x365. Our challenge?  Make it easy for our users to instantly search and understand what their logs are telling them. This is real-time big data that is mission critical for our customers.  When their applications are acting up they look to the Loggly service to help them figure out what’s wrong and get things back on track.  Do you have the code-writing capabilities to take on this task?

The engineering team at Loggly believes that the quality of our code reflects directly on us as professionals.  And because our customers are all engineers themselves, they notice.  We’re relentless about crafting a product that is innovative, delivers a user experience that people remember and is ever faster and more robust.

As a key engineer on our team, you will collaborate with other engineers, product management, and operations. We’re a small team so every individual matters. 

Our culture is fun, fast-paced, performance-oriented, open, collegial, and we are constantly pushing the technology envelope to the edge!  All of our positions are based in the financial district of San Francisco, CA right on top of a BART and Muni stop.

About the Job

Because you’ll be making user-facing features, we believe strongly in collecting and analyzing quantitative data to help guide our decisions. To that end, you’ll be able to use our in-house analytics tools (Loggly!) to gather information and gain insights. We’re regularly pushing out new code, so expect your contributions to be put to use quickly.

You will have full lifecycle responsibilities to create robust, scalable, multi-threaded, and distributed systems that operate always. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a highly innovative environment with new technologies as we continue to extend our market leading position.

About You
You’re an engineer who can turn ideas into extremely fast and reliable code that other people – or you, six months into the future – will find easy to comprehend and modify. You believe in the power of data to transform how people work.

You will be successful in this role if you:

• Enjoy helping others around you grow and be successful as developers
• Have excellent written and verbal communications skills 
• Can be autonomous and self-driven 
• Get inspired on a daily basis, thinking of new ideas and sharing them with others 
• Take pride in creating new ways to do things and know that the creative process requires momentum, chaos, vibrancy, spontaneity, debate, and silence

We’re looking for:

• Experience with enterprise software and big data tools helpful
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills

Technical Skills:

• JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript libraries like JQuery and Dojo

What’s Next
If you’re interested in joining the team; please send us your resume. Let us know how you fit the bill for each of our requirements. Loggly is a place that values individuality, variety, and diversity. We have lots of hikers, bikers, gamers, musicians and other interesting folks so use your judgment and write to us in your own voice about your talents.  If you have a presence on the web that we can easily access where you contribute to an open source project, write a blog, or practice another craft besides designing powerful software, we’d love to hear about it.

 

We’ll start with an initial phone interview and based on that, we’ll invite you in to meet the team – starting with the CTO and CEO; as we said, we’re a small team and every member is important!  We hope you’ll do some research on Loggly and try out our product before you arrive.
