　　FullStory | Staff Software Engineer | Full-Time | Remote (US timezones)

　　My name is prashanth, I'm the manager of the Mobile Enablement team here at FullStory. My team is currently hiring for a Staff Software Engineer, primarily focused on backend skills, but who is comfortable jumping in to Android Studio, XCode, and TypeScript if necessary.

　　What we're looking for

　　* Focused on Backend - Our backend is written in Go, using gRPC, GCP, Grafana, BigQuery for logs, BigTable / datastore for storage, GCS for more storage.

　　* Comfortable jumping into other stacks - We do touch Java, Objective-C, Swift, TypeScript and Rust in some of the work we do

　　* Staff level impact - can build abstractions, and evolve them over time.

　　* Understands Mobile Apps and Websites - knows what an Android View is, UIKit View. Also knows how Web apps work and can understand the similarities and differences between apps and websites.

　　I started as an engineer on our SDK focused team working on deep internals of Android for a couple of years, but as our Mobile product started to get more customers, it became clear that the way we process Mobile sessions and find interesting insights wasn't evolving. Our team is focused on helping teams build features for our Mobile product without having to understand the nitty gritty details of our SDK and mobile specific data structures.

　　If you're not familiar with FS, here's my take on the elevator pitch:

　　FullStory builds the best product analytics + session replay tools to help you understand what is frustrating your users and preventing them from using your Mobile App or Website. FullStory automatically capture what your users saw, what they interacted with, and all the information you'd need to power your product analytics, and lets watch how your users are using your app or website in a video-like experience, all with best in class privacy preserving features. With FullStory, You can delete all your manually instrumented Analytics.event("Login Clicked"), and use our APIs to instrument only the events and data that matter to your app or site

　　I've worked here for 3.5 years, and I still think there's so many interesting problems to solve and tools to build - here's a little about the history and what excites me about our future.

　　For websites, the problem is a lot simpler - there are APIs to listen for changes to the HTML structure. There’s nothing really close to that on mobile that provides any sort of structured vector representation of the UI and View Tree Hierarchy. Most of the competitors in this space are all either based on Bitmaps, screenshots, or don’t provide any sort of a session replay experience (focusing on the analytics only case). Ours is based on different paradigm. We can selectively capture the colors, shapes, text, etc. that a View would draw to a canvas. Why is this better? If a view contains sensitive information, we can still capture the shapes, colors, paths of the view, but omit the actual text or bitmap content of that view.

　　This role is particularly exciting because we’re just scratching the surface with what the higher fidelity our SDK captures can do. Imagine automatically surfacing when your users are spending a long time looking at ProgressBars or UIActivityIndicatorViews and how that impacts your conversions without needing to log any events, metrics or write code. Our team will have an outsized impact on the success of our mobile product, and the person who fills this role will strongly influence that impact and build a lot of the the fundamental building blocks that power those features.

　　- Front end design: designers - ideally with some ability to program - to work on usability and aesthetics for our applications and other information-presenting systems, on both web and desktop

　　- Data Science: time series analysis in particular, including high frequency data sets that are too big for simple tools

　　- Information Security: incident response, threat intelligence, vuln management

　　- Platform: Platform as Code, Site Reliability Engineers, Windows desktop support; frontline server support and administration; application support

　　## About Us

　　Symmetry Investments is a post startup USD 9+ billion alternative asset management company with around 250 people across multiple time zones and locations.

　　Our core technology team has been remote-first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, accelerated by the pandemic.

　　I'm co-CEO and co-COO, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

　　We are five years into a period of transformation from what was initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager. [Amaury Sechet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR4PSExnqk) and [Atila Neves](https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/) have been working with us as long-term consultants and we have many other talented people with lower public profiles.

　　It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming, but are oriented towards solving business problems, with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. SIL can compile and call C++, D, and C# at runtime and interoperate with Python and R. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

　　The language is written in D and we have a close involvement with the D Foundation and community, hosting DConf in London. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

　　It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

　　We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Haskell, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.

　　Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and Chief Investment Officer starts asking you questions about your work.
