Likely - Shoreditch, London, UK. Full Time & Contract.
Clojure + Hadoop + Cascalog + Clojurescript + Redshift + Lambda Architecture http://likely.co/
Founded in 2011, Likely is at the forefront of social media data collection and analysis having helped companies such as Coca-Cola and the British Government develop highly engaging, relevant presences online.
We analyse billions of social interactions – such as follows, shares and comments – to better understand how people cluster around things they are passionate about. By looking at brands as a collection of “passion points”, we have found that it is significantly easier to discover the people that are most likely to engage with a brand’s content and understand what content will resonate most with them.
We're looking for:
Software Developers. We have a sophisticated Clojure data engine at the core of our business that has been built according to Lambda Architecture principles on top of AWS. This excellent foundation drives our data business, our client work and powers our products. We are looking for developers to join our talented team to help us reap the rewards of this architecture with further data-driven products as we scale our business.
A front-end focused Developer. We are looking to enhance our front end capability with an experienced front end developer. This is fantastic opportunity to develop responsive, highly visual applications which present our company's primary asset - our insights - to our customers. You will be working on our new products and will have the opportunity to develop and shape our front end capabilities from the ground up.
Both roles will be working closely with the CTO but will be given the responsibility and flexibility to design and build systems as part of a small, highly focused development team. In return we offer:
• A competitive basic salary
• 10% of time dedicated to hack-day projects
• An excellent working environment with ample opportunity for progression
• Open to flexible working
• 30 days holidays per year
• A company commitment to quality technology and external training

Likely, London UK, Full-time. (Clojure, Cascalog, Hadoop)
Likely use "big data" from social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to connect audiences with the things they will love.
We do this by helping brands better understand their customers, both existing and potential, by looking at their online behaviour. We've done this successfully for our own communities (@LDN and Handpicked London on Facebook are examples) but we also sell this expertise to clients who trust us to plan campaigns and analyse, acquire and engage authentic audiences on their behalf.
We analyse billions of data points on our Hadoop and HBase cluster using Cascalog (a Clojure DSL for the Cascading framework) and we've started to use Clojure for other projects too. Other languages we use or have used are Java, Ruby and Erlang in production and, Python and R behind the scenes.
This is a great opportunity to join a successful startup that is scaling quickly (there were 5 of us at the beginning of the year, we're now 12). We are looking for people who are excited by the challenges of working within a startup, who are hungry to learn new tools and ways of working, and who can take the initiative as we grow quickly over the coming months.
* Collaborate with a smart and motivated development team on cutting edge technologies
* Manage billions of data points in a distributed system
* Enjoy working in a fun and focused startup environment
* 10% time devoted to "hackday" projects
* Free food in the office, ordered weekly
* Conference passes, books from our large and expanding library
* See your efforts enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people daily
You'll be based in our light and airy London office a stone's throw from Old St reporting directly to the CTO. Part-time remote working can be accommodated. Please send applications to henry@likely.co
