=====Stratospheric Junior Data Engineer:=====
Ok, so you're not quite the Web Data Architect who has built one of the top performing Internet sites and you haven't written your own treatise on how to scale Twitter -- yet. But you're scary smart and you know you have what it takes. You just know that, if given the opportunity, you would eat, breathe and dream in high availability, massive, scalable data -- and you would consume everything interesting ever written about data architectures, databases, and modern web architectures. In short, you would grok all forms of data storage and data systems.
To your credit, you assert, your mind is already infused with data designs -- cube data views, dimensional datastores, key-value data tables, navigational data structures, and denormalized data systems to name just a few. Not only do you understand the fundamentally isomorphic relationship between software data structures, databases of all kinds, and network topologies, but you can also design systems at any of these levels and speak intelligently about the differential value each system embodies. In addition, you have a few years of practical experience working with data, either in a junior role for a big site, or as the architect for a smaller site. You've learned from the best, on the job and off, and are firmly on the path towards massiveness.
At UpCompany, we're looking for someone who is obsessed with the power of data and has the capabilities to bring that power to fruition. Someone who can take the requirements for a massively scalable, fast, data driven website, and produce the active data service needed to implement our vision. This person is pragmatic, and can get an initial system up and running quickly, but excited and self driven and will continuously create incremental improvements which align the capabilities with our vision and direction.
