WebAction - Downtown Palo Alto, CA

Hiring Lead Front-End Developers, Web Developers, and Big Data Platform Developers (java).

At WebAction, you will work on creating a real-time interface to the world’s most valuable data.

WebAction is a real-time big data platform that bridges the gap between users and terabytes/petabytes of diverse, fast moving, and physically disparate data with a simple, SQL interface and state-of-the-art visual app designer.

We do this by offering high-speed acquisition of log data, distributed stream processing and caching, and real-time querying of stored data in one platform. As a result, our customers rapidly create real-time, mission critical data-driven solutions that would normally take months to years of development effort with a mish-mash of multiple paid products or development-intensive open source libraries.

Founded by a team of Silicon Valley veterans with proven track records (CEO of WebLogic/GoldenGate Software, executive team from GoldenGate software), WebAction is backed by some of the most respected names in Silicon Valley. We're also well funded (recently raised $11m Series B by a private equity firm with a $15 billion fund).

We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits package, generous equity for the right candidates. Our office is also a short walk from some great restaurants and coffee spots on University Avenue in Downtown Palo Alto.
