About RVR

RVR is an early stage start up with secured funding currently operating in stealth mode. We are seeking to re-imagine how we handle, manage, and interact with our data, documents, and folder structures. We are developing a bio-inspired method for handling complex data structures to make navigating a them more effective and intuitive, resulting in a richer experience. We bring data to life by using interactive objects to animate data structures, improving on current data management tools and anticipating a future in with Virtual Reality is ubiquitous in the work place. As we are in stealth mode, further details of the product will be given after signing a Non Disclosure Agreement.

Who we are looking for:

Ideally someone with experience in building and shipping customer oriented software, with a good grasp of best practices for security, concurrency, and supporting both online and offline work. Ideally we are looking for someone with skills in either Go or Node.js, but other languages will be considered, developing skills on the job is also possible and is highly encouraged. As the position will carry a high degree of autonomy as well as impact on the product, we are looking for people who are self motivated, creative problem solvers. Additionally we are looking for people who know when to ask for help and are willing to help others.

The Role

Hires will be pivotal in shaping, developing and delivery of the product. Your input will be foundational to the product being developed and, the potential for growth along with the product is significant. You will work closely with the front end team to deliver a fast and smooth user experience, robust client server communication protocol, and secure authentication protocols. Primary initial responsibilities:

- Identifying and establishing methods to be used to improve the speed, efficiency and latency of the system.

- Development of a user profile management system.

- Maintain and manage both relational and graph databases (Neo4J) and develop standardized queries for both types of databases to be called from different components of the system.

- Develop appropriate web-socket connections with the front end to enable ‘live’ interactive visuals.

As we are in Beta development initial work will focus on “fundamental” tasks. This will ensure we have a robust base to be able connect additional analysis frameworks to. We are looking for intellectually flexible individuals interested in building skills in new areas.
