Description

We are looking for talented engineers to build a fast, reliable backend system to power Tuenti. This system must scale to support millions of users and tens of thousands of requests per second.

This is a full-time position based in our office in central Madrid.

Responsibilities

* Implement data access layers to power the various features on Tuenti
* Build monitoring tools to analyze current performance and identify current and future bottlenecks
* Build tools to manage data that is distributed across hundreds of physical machines and often several different storage engines
* Build failover mechanisms to balance load and deal with component failure

Requirements

* Deep understanding of algorithms, time/space complexity, and scalability
* Knowledge of Linux and associated programming tools
* Familiarity with network protocols and socket programming
* Knowledge of relational databases such as MySQL/PostgreSQL
* Familiarity with PHP
* Familiarity with C/C++ is a plus
* Proficiency in other scripting languages (Perl/Python) preferred
