Bonanza's core values drive our culture and growth:
Who succeeds in a culture like this? People who want to build things that have never been done before. People who get excited about empowering others. People who are comfortable with -- nay, thrive on -- rapid, constant change.
We believe a key to our longevity is pace. While some tech companies measure "employee success" by how much work can get squeezed into a 12 hour day, we've found our productivity is maximized when living a fulfilling life doesn't get short shrift.
Here's a sampling of the perks of working at Bonanza:
Want to make an outsized difference on a product with millions of monthly pageviews and growing? Our Senior Full Stack Rails Developer contributes across the stack from understanding database operations at scale, writing clean, team-oriented Ruby, and building compliant UX (via HAML & SASS) that brings our intuitive designs to life for our 40k active sellers. This role touches all realms of Bonanza functionality, though if you find one area you're especially good at, we'd love for you to make it your specialty.
When you've got 25 million items in your database, how do you determine the difference between the band "Rose Windows," the software "Microsoft Windows," and a car's rear window? By analyzing the context of the user's phrasing, and building a system that can simulate human intelligence.
Our vision is to build a platform akin to Google's "Knowledge Graph," but catered specifically to the domain of sellable products. If you've got the smarts to figure this out, the result could provide ultra-relevant product recommendations (+ product reviews), on Bonanza and anywhere else that English is used to describe an item.
