Job Description

Job Title: Backend Engineer 

What do we do?

Imagine that you would get notified when your business competitor is launching a new product, when they are recruiting more people in a specific market, when they are out-investing you, when they file a new patent, when their stock price surge, when their customer satisfaction is on the rise etc etc. Wouldn’t that be kind of great? We’d like to think so.

With our new product we’re collecting and analyzing (using machine learning and AI) millions pieces of data everyday. This data is enriched, analyzed and turned into valuable business insights that we deliver via reports, web services and mobile apps to our customers.

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Mesos, and Marathon.
• Proficient with Git or similar revision control systems.
• Experience deploying and maintaining EC2, RDS, SQS, S3, DynamoDB, VPC, IAM, & ElasticSearch.

Who are we?

In 1943, an American aerospace company ­ Lockheed ­ gathered their most talented engineers in a dingy hanger and assigned them an unthinkable mission – to build the first ever American fighter jet to score a kill in aerial combat. In the years that followed, the Lockheed Advanced Development Program (aka. Skunk Works) developed some of the most famous aircraft designs of all time, including the U­2, the SR­71 Blackbird, the F­117 Nighthawk, and the F­22 Raptor.

In 2013, a Norwegian media intelligence company – Meltwater – launched their own Skunk Work, called mLabs. mLabs’ mission is to explore the furthest lands, the darkest areas, for ideas, technologies, and products that will propel Meltwater into becoming the global leader in big data outside of the firewall. To make this transition to new markets, new data types, and new products, a rapidly iterating center of innovation is critical.
