Role
Who you are
- We have a strong track record of leveling up talented juniors quickly, and this role offers a rare opportunity to pair closely with senior leadership on a greenfield project
- Preferred: Knowledge of Ruby on Rails and the broader Ruby ecosystem is a large plus. Alternatively, demonstrated proficiency in Python or similar languages, with a willingness to cross-train in Ruby, is acceptable
- Nice-to-have: Experience with Clickhouse or other OLAP databases; MongoDB or other document stores; Sidekiq or other asynchronous task runners
- Technical Foundation: A strong grasp of algorithms, RESTful systems, and API design. Experience with data analysis and data pipelining is ideal
- Github/Portfolio: A portfolio of meaningful Github contributions, open-source work, or interesting personal projects that demonstrate you can build working software
- Curiosity & Drive: A proactive approach to digging into sources yourself rather than relying on second-hand information, and an eagerness to understand why a project is valuable before you start coding
What the job involves
- At Sensor Tower, we don’t just want you to write code; we want you to build the technical and product ownership that makes your work meaningful
- We are looking for a talented Junior Back End Developer to join a high-priority strategic initiative
- In this role, you will build systems to track and analyze how major conversational Large Language Models (LLMs) perceive apps, brands, and digital entities
- You will join a high-performing team to launch and quickly iterate on this new product, with high expectations for your work paired with a strong emphasis on fast career development and growth
- Build New Insights Features: You will build and maintain reliable, high-performance pipelines to aggregate and analyze data from various AI models
- Own the Full Development Lifecycle: You will participate in the complete development lifecycle through design, implementation, and release. You won't consider a project done just because it was merged; you will own the follow-up to ensure no tech debt accumulates
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: You will work closely with cross-functional teams, ensuring you understand the end-to-end process to design the correct systems
- Drive Future Strategy: Long term, you will work on additional strategic engineering projects to continuously make a business impact and grow our footprint
