Left Field Labs Hiring for Backend Developer at Remote Full Time

We are an experienced design company that connects people, products, and brands in powerful ways. Our small but growing team of designers, developers, producers, strategists, and content creators is based in Culver City, California. We believe in the power of storytelling, human-centric design, and the intersection of creativity with code to further humanity’s relationship with technology. If you’re the kind of person who obsesses over details, thrives in a collaborative environment, and jumps at the opportunity to take on new challenges, Left Field Labs may be the place for you.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a talented senior-level Back-End Developer to join our team. You will work alongside a group of dedicated and supportive programmers and designers, all focused on building and maintaining a complex software product used by one of the largest technology companies in the world. We count on our developers to write elegant and well-documented code, with a strict eye towards the separation of concerns, scalability, and maintainability. This position can be based remotely.

• Often find yourself staring at a blank wall and attempting to visualize how an extremely complex system operates under high load
• Thoughtfully design forward-thinking, scalable, and performant data architectures
• Have used both SQL and NoSQL databases, and understand the benefits and shortcomings of each (major bonus points if you’ve used Cloud Spanner!)
• Know what it’s like to take a very large amount of incoming data, store it, and transform it into human-readable results
• Take production systems seriously, and expect others to do the same
• Know how to independently debug a complicated problem, and do so regularly
• Regularly learn new things, and enjoy both teaching others and being taught
• Understand the importance of testing, and how to write good tests
