Additionally, our 12 billion records and over 250 million unique profiles help business professionals locate people and assets, research criminal investigation subjects, and more.

Founded in 2006, we have grown to a remote-first company of nearly 200 dedicated employees with an average tenure of 4.5 years.

The skills you'll have:

  • Required - A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a similar field.

  • Required - A strong background in search-related products or features using either OpenSearch, ElasticSearch, Lucene, or Solr.

  • Required - 4+ years of development experience in web applications and/or backend APIs

  • Required - 2+ years using SQL and NoSQL technologies

  • Required - Experience implementing and troubleshooting high-usage, high-throughput systems

  • Required - Experience optimizing application performance and database queries.

  • Preferred - Familiarity with big data processing frameworks and related technologies such as Spark, Hadoop, Airflow, and Data Lakes.

  • Preferred - 2+ years of development experience with Ruby on Rails, Javascript, or Node.js.

Working at Spokeo

Our mission is to advance transparency, and to achieve that goal, we rally around six core values: listening with empathy, understanding the why, clarifying with data, innovating to learn, collaborating to achieve, and insisting on quality.
