BuzzSumo provides social insights to marketers and publishers. We run extensive crawlers that crawl the entire web 24/7, storing terabytes of data that need to be indexed, processed and queried. Our SaaS product is used by over 3400 customers, ranging from publishers like BuzzFeed to Fortune 500 brands like Disney.
We are looking for a backend engineer with at least 3+ years of Ruby experience. We prefer candidates with experience working with either large Elasticsearch clusters, or enterprise-scale Sidekiq deployments. If you hate front-end work, or love writing crawlers, you're probably what we are looking for :) Our entire team works remotely.
What you'll be doing:
- Build new backend features for the BuzzSumo platform using Ruby as our main programming language. Some NLP/machine learning might be required in future projects.
- Occasionally perform devops-related tasks such as upgrades on existing infrastructure (ie Elasticsearch servers)

Note: This role is remote, but must be based out of UK, France, Germany or these states in the US: New York, Georgia, Washington, Texas, California, or Illinois.
