Backend Engineer

Tired of working on closed source technology, welcome Lively. Our API is built upon Python’s Tornado web server, with a smart layer called Toto. Oh no Aunti Anne, there’s a storm a comin’. It’s not your typical Python API, it’s really organized and ready for heavy extensibility and scaling. It’s clean. The AMI stack is Linux, MySQL, Redis, Nginx and Python. We’re looking for a back end hero to champion the way our API is built for the future, and help maintain it as we grow to support all the amazing artists out there. This role, just as the front end engineer role, benefits from the automation of Vagrant and Grunt. Turn key environment setup and shut down. Can’t beat that with a bat. Ping for more info.
