Overview
We are looking for a senior software engineer with solid server-side programming experience to become a core member of a sharp, dynamic team. AppNexus clients trade on a steady stream of online media through our real-time transactional platform, a distributed system built on top of the AppNexus computing cloud that responds in a few milliseconds to billions of requests each day — 24/7, 365 days a year.
We need an efficient and agile engineer motivated by solving interesting technical challenges and building new applications quickly. Our team is rapidly developing both RESTful APIs and rich user interfaces for our clients and in need of engineers to help take us to the next level.

Responsibilities
The position requires a problem solving mindset. The ideal candidate is hands-on and proactive when designing applications, is good at finding simple solutions to complex problems, and is comfortable coding off of a problem statement instead of a formal spec. Our environment is open, collaborative, and encourages learning. We release new code at least once a week (as continuous deployment actually increases reliability), so you must be both fast and accurate with your code and confident in your work. You’ll immediately see the results of your work and creativity — as will the rest of our team, our clients, and the world at large.
Skills
Requirements:
5+ years experience in developing software as a part of a team for production environment
Proficiency in at least one these languages: PHP, Java, Python
Experience with server side application development and scalable web-services, especially REST
Mastery of SQL and experience with MySQL
Experience with open source full-text search engines; sphinx, Lucene etc.
Experience in scaling applications with data sharding and/or caching via memcached, redis etc..
Experience with TDD
Experience in LAMP development and version control
Knows how to weight the trade-offs of using an open-source solution, licensing, or building from scratch
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, 24/7 environment
Compensation
DOE/Competitive
Why AppNexus?
If they always called you "nerd" as a kid and you answered "awesome!" then you will love working here. We are dynamic and diverse (we have several entrepreneurs who have started multiple companies, creative writers, artists, and a fashion designer), and we focus our talents on working together to build a massively robust, intricate, and usable ad platform. Even after growing rapidly and being validated by our many customers and industry praise, we've stayed a lean, agile, and efficient organization: the MacGyver of advertising.
That still not exciting enough? How about the $50 million dollars in funding we just received? http://appnexus.com/news/press-releases.php
To apply, send your resume to tbecker@appnexus.com
