Software Developer, Advertising Team (Seattle, WA)
IMDb.com (the Internet Movie Database), the world's most popular movie website, is expanding our advertising team. If you're an experienced software developer whose passion is building robust, scalable and maintainable systems, this is your chance to build the systems that drive the majority of our revenue stream.
As a member of the advertising team, you'll be responsible for developing everything from back-end systems that help our sales team land contracts, to improving our ad-serving and tracking infrastructure to developing new types of ad placements for the website.
We have a great work environment and a strongly cohesive group of talented people. Our developers enjoy a lot of creative control over projects and work on challenging and interesting problems. A love of movies is suggested, but not required; be prepared to be surrounded by debates about the best Hitchcock film ever made and discussions about what might happen when Battlestar Galactica returns. We are a telecommute-friendly workplace. As a separately operated subsidiary of Amazon.com, we offer the benefits and stability of a Fortune 500 company, combined with engaging, close-knit, results-focused environment of a small company. It's the best of both worlds.
Qualifications:
We require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer science and three plus years of industry programming experience.
Many of our systems are built with Linux/Apache/MySql/Perl, so solid skills in these areas are preferred. If specific experience in this environment is lacking, you will be required to demonstrate the ability to adapt and come up to speed quickly.
Experience with internet advertising systems is also a plus.
Our staff is distributed across the planet so we need employees who can function independently while also interacting efficiently with other team members.
This position is in Seattle and cannot be filled remotely. Please send your resume to careers at imdb.com.
