Amperity, a marketing enterprise software startup founded by noted entrepreneurs Kabir Shahani and Derek Slager, is still in stealth mode — but even stealthy companies need someone writing the code.
Amperity is currently hiring for multiple positions, including a Site Reliability Engineer, following a $9 million funding round earlier this year. Amperity’s system works with large amounts of data in real time, and stitches this data together across multiple systems.
The position requires experience with high-availability systems, and significant operational experience within a major cloud infrastructure provider. Learn more and apply on GeekWork, and check out other openings at Amperity.
