Senior Software Engineer

OwnLocal is a fun-loving and hardworking Austin-area startup with a crazy plan to help local media companies survive by providing digital services to their small business advertisers. We're a leader in digital advertising solutions for local media companies globally—we partner with more than 2,600 media companies and operate in North America, Europe, and Australia.

You value learning and growing as an engineer, a leader, and as a contributor to a tight-knit company. You enjoy working with people who always push themselves to do better and you know in your heart that life isn’t always work (but sometimes it is). You want to take an active role in deciding how to build our products and can create processes and methodologies behind them. You’re based in Austin (or want to move here), you’re a good natured person (with a sense of humor) and people just like to be around you; writing code is in your DNA and you get excited solving problems and improving upon existing technologies.

* Collaborate as a team to prioritize and complete all points in a given sprint * Work with our sales, customer support, operations and finance teams to problem-solve and create long-term solutions to company challenges * Fix process fails as a team without assigning individual blame * Aspire to get a perfect score on the Joel test

**You should probably apply if you:** * Have a deep knowledge of software engineering, programming and computer science * Can pick up and move to different technologies quickly and effectively * Are not afraid to speak up and challenge existing ideas and processes * Have a humility about your work and develop software with the end product rather than ego in mind * Take a personal responsibility for your work and hold a high standard of quality to everything you touch **You should really seriously apply if you are also good at any of the following:** * Working on several different technologies (Rails, Go, ElasticSearch, etc.) * Communicating development concepts to non-technical folks and working in tandem with them to solve big picture problems. * Pragmatism; we don’t always have the resources to do everything and have to be realistic about ideas and timelines * Flexibility and a willingness to work on projects that aren’t programming, including: software design, process creation, documentation, feature specification, code reviews, leadership, etc.
