About Hoo.be: 


Hoo.be is a seed funded tech startup located in Boston, Ma. The core Hoo.be team has been able to surround the project with exciting talent in the form of seasoned advisors, board members, and investors.


About the Role: 


On hoo.be, we're building python-based server applications spanning restful APIs that power our mobile app, to daemons that crawl thousands of social accounts' posts a second, and a machine learning model for classifying and serving content based upon our user’s preferences.

As the second engineer to join our team you'll have a ton of influence on our technical decisions and direction. Working closely with our chief architect, you'll contribute to designs, perform research, and ultimately implement and support our application servers, crawlers, and AI services. Because we're small, we all wear a lot of hats. 

Our infrastructure is entire dockerized, from data storage (postgres, redis) to application servers (flask-based). We're a test-driven, python 3.7 shop (with types and dependency injection). We practice continuous integration with microservices, constantly pushing code to production—something you'll do on your first day!


Responsibilities: 


● Build restful APIs to support our app 

● Design, develop, and deliver new social service crawlers 

● Support and scale our service crawlers 

● Work on our machine learning models for content classification; build new APIs and inputs into training 

● Build and improve our tools for managing our infrastructure, classification, and scaling our microservices 

● Maintain and extend our infrastructure and tools for dockerization 


Qualifications:


● At least two years building scalable, in-production API-driven application servers in Python or Java 

● Experience working with docker and shipping docker apps 

● Experience using a relational database, preferably Postgres or MySQL 

● Experience building integrations with other systems, crawlers, etc.
