Pandora | Oakland, CA | Backend java developers at all levels, prefer noSQL database XP and multi-threading XP

Do you love music? Want to see your work impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people? If so, our music engineering team at Pandora could be a fit! This team works with the data of our 250+ million users to maintain and improve our listeners' experience. We're backend Java engineers, are highly visible within the org, and make a direct impact on our product by partnering with our scientists and product managers analyzing huge amounts of user data. We owned Pandora's integration with Google NOW and are generally working on interesting and exciting tech.

We deploy on Linux, code primarily in Java, use Python for scripting, Postgres for traditional DB and Redis for noSQL DB solution, interact with Hadoop/Hive (so any exposure to big data tech is a plus).

We're based in Oakland (and love it here) and have a very flexible remote work environment combined with a more traditional onsite setup. A good example: the team I work on is in the office M-TH 10am-4pm and Friday is an unofficial everyone work from home day. WFH because of kids, pets, doctors appts, etc. is normal and expected; this is not your normal clock-punch corporate environment.

Competitive comp, equity packages, bonus structure, good benefits, 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year, and all kinds of other work/life oriented perks come with our full time gigs. Happy to talk to anyone who is even remotely curious about this (or other engineering roles)! We're hiring!

*NOTE: We do work with visa and sponsorship needs, but are looking for candidates who are interested in FULL TIME, ONSITE roles here in the SF Bay area. Relocation package provided. :)
