Principal Engineer
at Damballa
Atlanta, GA 30308
This is the best start-up company to work for in Atlanta. We just received $9 million in funding and a new CEO. We already have a very solid core product, and now we're entering a rapid growth phase an accelerating our business.
We want to add to our existing world-class engineering team, but first we want to secure a really strong principal engineer to help provide technical leadership and mentor more junior team members. That's where you come into the picture.
I promise, the regular job posting is below, but just a few more words first. You'll be working with a team of very dedicated and smart people, just like yourself. This is not some janitorial role where you have to babysit a bunch of second rate Java developers. The work environment here is phenomenal too. We provide free snacks and parking (or MARTA passes if you prefer). We give you a generous amount of paid time off / vacation. We'll even pay you a salary! Of course, we also provide a 401k plan, health, and dental insurance options.
We are looking for a Principal Engineer to help take our product to the next level. Damballa provides large
enterprises with unique solutions to defend against the modern Internet threat environment, including botnets
and other targeted attacks.
Security experience isn't required, but you should have an interest in the security space.
Requirements:
* 10+ years of experience, but maybe you're an up and coming rock star that we'll make an exception for
* Expertise with at least one dynamic language
* Comfort with relational databases / SQL and scaling them to handle large amounts of data
* Passion about testing, quality, and learning new technologies
* Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership
* Effective communication skills with the spoken and written word
