Vantaggi
This is the best job I've had in years. I'm actually challenged and inspired to keep getting better at what I do. This isn't your typical startup. We're building a database and cloud service which is cool but tough stuff to build and doesn't happen over night. Our team is hard-core and experienced. I've spent my career in enterprise and big data working with some of the best. I picked Splice Machine because their product is one of a kind and built for the future, predictive technology. Even though a lot of companies are using open source tools in their stack, Splice Machine is actually building with software like Spark, HBase, Mesos and Docker. We've embraced using Agile Scrum recently which has really helped manage all the moving pieces, giving everyone product ownership. Several on the exec team have worked together in the past. Ask anyone who worked at Blue Martini about them. They are good people. And they've made it a point to hire good people. PhDs and autodidacts work together alike, learning new technologies as we build. Everyone is the real deal. You will never be short on new things to learn.
Svantaggi
No biggies- no shower in office but there's a gym around the corner. CEO is allergic to dogs, so no dogs in office. We could use a couple more developers but that's always the case.
