Software Engineer - Sr. Web Application Developer at Yammer

Yammer is revolutionizing the way employees communicate, collaborate, and share. Yammer launched at TechCrunch 50 in 2008, where we took home the top prize. Just a year later, more than 50,000 companies are using Yammer to improve workforce productivity.

We're led by David Sacks, an early member of the PayPal leadership team and enjoy all the classic benefits of a start up, with one advantage:
We began with a business plan, and it's working. We're located in a terrific office in San Francisco's SoMa district and offer competitive compensation and benefits.

Yammer was developed by a small team of skilled engineers. We love what we do and we do it very well.

Being part of a small team means that each engineer plays a role in design, architecture and development; you won't be handed a 50-page technical spec and sent off into the corner to insert tab A into slot B.
What we use:

* Ruby on Rails
* Apache + Passenger
* PostgreSQL
* XMPP (ejabberd)
* Message queues (starling RabbitMQ)
* Full text search Engine
* Git

What you'll do:

* Help design and architect new features
* Argue about the right way to do things
* Work closely with others to help develop features
* Take ownership and help test, release and maintain the code you write
* Research new technologies that will help Yammer remain competitive

If you love to learn new technologies and love programming, but hate bosses that do not understand what you do or why it is important to do things the right way, then you may be right for Yammer.
