API Fanatics (Engineering, Marketing, Sales)

APIs are becoming the driving force behind radical new ways of delivering content, offering services and powering apps - transforming the Web as we know it. At 3scale our company mission is to help make this transformation happen by making it easier and safer for companies and individuals to publish and operate APIs and for developers to consume them.

3scale is one of the leading API infrastructure providers, now powering over 140 APIs for Fortune 100 companies right down to startups and non-profits.

With new APIs launching every month, we have exciting new projects starting which will both make our existing systems more awesome as we grow and take us into new areas. Hence we're looking for great people to join the team and help make the API Web happen!

What we are looking for

We're hiring both in San Francisco/US and Barcelona/Spain in multiple disciplines (see below for specifics) but most of all:

• You need to be genuinely passionate about APIs - making them work, getting them into people's hands and helping shape the future of the Web - either through technical innovation or by driving adoption.

• You need to be someone who wants to help others succeed - your team, your customers, the wider world.

• Ideally you should have had exposure to working with APIs - writing them, managing them, marketing them, selling them, writing apps for them.

Specific Positions

We're looking for team members in the following areas:

• Engineering (backend): We're looking for experienced engineers who have built high performance web-system, in particular with high levels of concurrency and unpredictable traffic patterns. Technologies in our Web Stack include: Ruby, Rails, Event Machine, NGNIX, REDIS, C, Cassandra. Familiarity with these is highly desirable, but not an absolute requirement - more important are clear experience in building scalable systems, ability to solve hard engineering problems, attention to detail and ability to work in a team.
  

• Engineering (frontend): We're looking for experienced front-end developers with the ability to cut through complexity and produce well functioning, pleasant to use interfaces. We don't expect you to be a designer, but you do need to have a good sense of
  usability and aesthetics mixed in with the ability to deliver
  interfaces. Technologies: Ruby, Rails, Javascript, CSS, HTML.
  

• Marketing: Looking for minimum 2 years experience marketing high-tech products (ideally in technology infrastructure). You need to be good at telling stories and in reaching technical / semi-technical
  audiences. Roles include both membership of a team and leadership of a team.

• Sales: Looking for minimum 2 years experience in inside
  technical sales. You need to be excellent understanding customer
  needs, communicating solutions and have enough technical ability to
  demonstrate and explain the 3scale product. Roles include both
  membership of a team and leadership of a team.

Compensation
