Chicago, Illinois, United States SmallWorld Full time

About SmallWorld

Warm introductions and referrals lead to a 5x higher sales conversion rate than cold outreach. SmallWorld helps companies unlock this underutilized asset and engage any target prospect. By expanding the universe of potential relationships and applying our intelligence to every introduction request, we're able to identify the best path of connectivity to any person or company our customers seek to meet.

For sales and marketing teams, this means better top-of-funnel production as well as higher conversion rates for existing deals in the pipeline. For the connectors, it means a better user experience with the right tools and insights to make the introduction process simpler and more transparent.

As we continue to get momentum in the market, we are looking to add some exceptional, entrepreneurial people to our team to help build on our early success.

The Role

As a foundational member of the Technology team, you will be working directly with the CTO, Head of Product, and a small, multi-functional group of engineers, designers, data scientists, and QA testers to deliver features for our users. Your focus will be to build highly performant backend services to integrate seamlessly with our web platform, data stores, message queues, and other systems. Success in this role requires the ability to take on challenging problems and design/develop amazing solutions with little to no assistance.

In Your Toolkit

A deep understanding of functional and object-oriented programming
Ability to plan and implement complex data models
Ability to optimize poorly performing code, data queries, and network requests
Ability to identify both short and long-term solutions with trade-offs
Effective communication, including the ability to translate and explain technical issues to non-technical team members
At least 4 years of relevant full-time experience

You Have Experience With

High-level languages (e.g., Ruby, Python, Node, Go)
Relational and eventually consistent databases (e.g., Postgres, DynamoDB)
In-memory data stores and caches (e.g., Redis)
Version control system (e.g., Git)
Test writing and quality assurance
Microservice or service-oriented architecture

Desired

Early-stage startup experience
Full-stack development (e.g., Ruby on Rails, React/Node, Python/Django)
Messages queues, event streams, and pub/sub systems (e.g., Redis, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, Kafka)
Search engines (e.g., Elasticsearch)
Graph databases (e.g., Neo4j)
Continuous development, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Docker, Terraform)
Distributed systems architecture
Undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science, engineering, or mathematics

Benefits

Meaningful equity at an early-stage startup
Work where you work best (remote or hybrid)
Participate in designing foundational architecture
Shape the culture of a fast-growing company
