Silicon Florist

Platform Developer

Product Development | Portland, OR or Nashville, TN

Emma is on the hunt for a talented software developer to help build our next generation of web-based communications services.

As a member of our Platform team, you'll work on a variety of challenging projects, employing open source technologies and a dash of cunning to deliver top-notch solutions to difficult problems. We're focused on topics like scalability and reliability -- pretty much anything ending in -bility, really -- and on building a solid foundation to power Emma's innovative applications and services.

Contact us to tell us what we have in common. If you have some code to show us, even better.

The Absolute Must Haves:

* Proven development skills in Python, or a similar high-level language
* A sound understanding of relational database systems
* Familiarity with a wide range of internet technologies, such as HTTP, SMTP, caching, web services, and so on
* Excellent and creative problem-solving skills
* Experience with agile development practices

Things That Would Also Be Nice:

* In-depth knowledge of PostgreSQL
* Experience with the performance and scalability of high volume systems

We are looking for folks who would like to live and work in Nashville, TN or Portland, OR, with relocation possible for the right candidate.

In addition to full-time positions, we're open to exploring contract-based employment, again, for the right candidate.
