Yes – We’re hiring! Burt is an aggressively expanding early stage IT startup based in Sweden. We’re trying to disrupt the AdTech industry by creating great tools for the people who have the most impact – those who create the ads. It’s not easy, but it’s fun! Now we need your help. Are you up for it? (extended background)

We’re looking for a talented Java developer with knowledge of building large scale, distributed systems and API development.

Burts platforms are built using Java, with portions written in Ruby and JRuby. We run them on Ubuntu, deployed on Amazon EC2. We use various technologies and knowledge of any of them is a big plus: Ruby, JRuby, SQL, Hadoop (Pig, Hive), Amazon AWS (EC2, S3, SDB), xNIX (Ubuntu, Bash-scripting)

You may have any or all of this general knowledge and traits:

• A general interest in programming.
• A knowledge of more than one programming language. You’re likely to have taken up a language for no other reason than “it seemed fun”.
• Experience from various programming paradigms, such as procedural, object oriented, functional or declarative.
• A great understanding of design patterns, why they exist, how they’re used and how they can be adapted in different situations – and discussing this with others.
• Having taught a programming or related course.
• Not quiet when people around you discuss programming problems, even if they’re strangers.
• When working with great people hours don’t matter, since spending time with interesting people is what you like best.
• Experience working with TDD, Agile, Scrum, and other development methodologies.

If only some apply to you, don’t let that scare you. We’re basically looking for someone who is awesome, and who enjoys working with other awesome people on challenging problems. We believe in the principle “work hard, play hard”. You should too.
