General Engineering
San Francisco

Founded by a team of proven technology entrepreneurs, Marin is looking for early-stage hires to build out its technical staff. We are a company that believes in building a product for the long-term, and creating a company that can grow as the market matures. An ideal team member shares this desire to “build-to-last”, and architects her/his software the same way.

Responsibilities: 
• To work collaboratively with the team, creating innovative solutions to difficult problems faced by a (very) large market.
• Remain flexible, authoring front-end (PHP5, AJAX, CSS) and back-end code (Java, Spring, Hibernate, Axis) as necessary to build products.
• Adopt development methodologies and pride in product ownership, resulting in quality code -- all the while maintaining a fast, iterative pace.

Minimum Requirements: 
Expert knowledge of:
• Object Oriented Programming (Java, C++, C#)
• Relational Databases (database theory and/or OLAP a nice plus)
• Reluctant mastery of front-end scripting languages (PHP, Ruby, Javascript)

Familiarity with:
• Web Services/SOAP (Axis)
• Broker/Peer-based messaging (JMS)
• AJAX libraries (Yahoo UI Framework, Dojo, OpenLaszlo)

• Comfortable working in all environments: Linux (RH/Debian), Max OS/X and Windows.
• Previous experience in search advertising (Google/Overture) a big plus.
• Accurate prediction of your own task completion timelines.
• An innate urgency to complete projects on time and with high quality.
• Open communicator and can jump in (if appropriate) to help other team members.
• Educational background in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering preferred.

Compensation:
Salary / options commensurate with experience and very competitive. We prefer full-time hires for this position.
