About the company
Actionable software metrics to ship quality Ruby and JavaScript code.

Job description
We are analyzing over 20,000 repositories each day, and we want to grow this significantly. We're also expanding into other languages like PHP, CoffeeScript and Python.

We need to do all that while continuing to have some of the most precise, accurate, reliable and fast static analysis available. This requires a really strong core static analysis platform which we don't have yet.

Some examples of the types of problems you'll be solving:

Improving our processes for provisioning servers and deploying code with Docker
Efficiently allocating resources to maximize throughput and stability of heterogenous workloads across our datacenter (think Apache Mesos)
Ensuring reliability with automated quality assurance systems (If we mess up an analysis wrong, even once, it can be a bad experience for our customers.)
Designing clean, modular ways to add new analyses easily
Customizing our analysis systems, like supporting different parsers, or allowing users to tune things to their liking
Optimizing the performance of our static analysis (perhaps with Go)
Monitoring of all of the above in a scalable way (We don't have any ops people, so we depend on automation.)

An awesome vacation and travel policy
We want you to get away and have fun just as much as we do.
