In our industry having a 99.99% uptime is the difference between getting payed by your customer and paying your customer.
As a skilled systems administrator you’ll join one of the most competent web application teams in Europe to provide technical support and administration to our ever-growing number of machines.
You have experience in running high-traffic web sites. You know how to best build up a performant and secure web application stack all the way from routers to servers to load balancers.
You listen well, produce quickly and you’re proactive with problems. You really know how to get things done, but more importantly you know when to say ‘No.’.
Your beard is trustworthy.
Working for a startup is fun and fast paced. If you haven’t experienced it before, it’s like no job you’ve ever had. If you’re full of energy you’ll quickly find that this is a wonderful place to let all that energy out. Our employees create their roles, instead of us creating them for them.
Key responsibilities:
Work closely with engineering groups to design, build, and maintain systems
Build and maintain a scalable storage cluster
Write scripts to monitor and automate processes
Troubleshoot issues with hardware, software, applications and network
Document current and future configuration processes and policies
System failure analysis and recovery
Knowledge and skills required:
Experience in operations department of large-scale Internet service
Experience with Linux/Unix/BSD
Demonstrable knowledge of TCP/IP, HTTP, security, storage, SQL databases, and memcache
Practical knowledge of shell scripting and at least one scripting language (Ruby, Perl, Python)
Ability to prioritize tasks and work independently
Track record of practical problem solving
Valuable Additional Skills:
Experience automating systems maintenance tasks
Experience building fault tolerant, scalable systems
Experience with Ruby and preferably at least one more language
Experience with Ruby on Rails or another web application framework
Familiarity with agile programming methodologies
Experience with Amazon Web Services
Experience with Hadoop and similar technologies
Experience with Ruby, Java
Experience with Ruby on Rails stack performance tuning

Interaction Designer
We’ve found that having an application that feels great to use is what really sells our product. Our big idea is to help creatives create better advertising. With applications that are easy to use, and nice to look at, we’ve come a long way. But we think we can do better.
We’re now looking for an exceptional interaction designer who can own the domain of user interaction across all Burt’s products.
We’re amongst the many web companies that put interaction design at the very heart of our company. Being a data driven company we’ve got a scientific approach to design. We’re looking for someone who shares our approach and can take our design to the next level. You’ll be working with an exceptional team of engineers, who are all fans of great design.
A degree in human computer interaction is a plus. Other possible backgrounds include engineering, math, statistics or arts. You’ve got to know both your design toolkit and IxD-toolkit well. We expect you to have a portfolio you can show us. Preferably you’re located close to Göteborg, Sweden, or are willing to relocate.
You’re comfortable working with teams, and you often take a leading role in the design discussions. You listen well, but you’re also good at knowing when to say ‘No’. You can work independently on many projects at the same time, all without dropping the ball.
People who meet us tend to comment on our energy, and the passion we have for what we’re doing. We hope it’s infectious! At such a fast moving start up you’ll find opportunities rather than boundaries in every single role.
If you’re interested, please send a short letter of introduction and updated CV to jobs@burtcorp.com for more details!

Yes – We’re hiring! Burt is an aggressively expanding early stage IT startup based in Sweden. We’re trying to disrupt the AdTech industry by creating great tools for the people who have the most impact – those who create the ads. It’s not easy, but it’s fun! Now we need your help. Are you up for it? (extended background)
We’re looking for a talented Java developer with knowledge of building large scale, distributed systems and API development.
Burts platforms are built using Java, with portions written in Ruby and JRuby. We run them on Ubuntu, deployed on Amazon EC2. We use various technologies and knowledge of any of them is a big plus: Ruby, JRuby, SQL, Hadoop (Pig, Hive), Amazon AWS (EC2, S3, SDB), xNIX (Ubuntu, Bash-scripting)
You may have any or all of this general knowledge and traits:
- A general interest in programming.
- A knowledge of more than one programming language. You’re likely to have taken up a language for no other reason than “it seemed fun”.
- Experience from various programming paradigms, such as procedural, object oriented, functional or declarative.
- A great understanding of design patterns, why they exist, how they’re used and how they can be adapted in different situations – and discussing this with others.
- Having taught a programming or related course.
- Not quiet when people around you discuss programming problems, even if they’re strangers.
- When working with great people hours don’t matter, since spending time with interesting people is what you like best.
- Experience working with TDD, Agile, Scrum, and other development methodologies.
If only some apply to you, don’t let that scare you. We’re basically looking for someone who is awesome, and who enjoys working with other awesome people on challenging problems. We believe in the principle “work hard, play hard”. You should too.
Please send your résumé to jobs@burtcorp.com.

Are you up for it? (extended background)
We’re looking for a talented Ruby on Rails developer with a passion for creating great web applications.
The frontends of Burt’s products are developed using Ruby on Rails. We use various other tools and platforms in our process and architecture and knowledge of any of these is a big plus: JRuby, Java, Cucumber, Rake, RSpec, Capistrano, Passenger/Apache, MySQL, Amazon Web Services, Ubuntu.

Note: Full time in Gothenburg (that’s in Sweden) or New York would be ideal, but we’re open to hiring super awesome people that work remotely from other places, or as freelance contractors, so long as you’re not afraid of doing some traveling. The only thing we really care about is that you have talent, ambition and an overall awesome personality.
These are the positions we’re looking to fill right now:
Web Application developer
Platform developer
If you know you’re super awesome, but want to do something else at Burt, please send your résumé to jobs@burtcorp.com.
About Burt
We’re five people working around the clock to put a dent in the advertising industry by creating awesome tools for ad agencies. For whatever reason, our industry has been extremely focused on improving the ad distribution and production, but great tools for planning, concept development, campaign optimization and analysis are few and far in between. +100 billions of advertiser dollars are wasted every year because of this; publishers are struggling to make ends meet and not to mention the fact that users have to put up with +10 horrific ads per page, just to compensate for their lack of effect.
The reason we picked this space is simple: we’re creating the tools we always wished for in our daily work at premium agency Daddy, and later at even more premium agency CP+B.
Current products include a “Google Analytics for banners“, a “Photoshop for Copywriters” and a platform that optimizes every ad for every user to maximize impact. And yes: doing three products with a tight team is tough; but no: we’re not crazy.
Our products are dead-easy to use but the underlying technology is extremely complex. Basically, we’re doing the heavy lifting (the fun stuff) so that agencies can focus on insights, ideas, production and improving over time.
Burt has blue chip clients, patient investors, love and respect (spotlighted at Techcrunch50, DEMO, Cannes Lions, SIME and Plugg to name a few). We pay decent salaries, are generous with equity and will send you to that conference you always wanted to go to. Or buy that 30″ screen nobody else lets you have. We know you deserve it.
And we have lots of fun together. Also, we’ve had revenues from day one. However, revenues isn’t really a such a big issue in ad tech (people are used to paying here), the challenge is to create products that people want to use, and that’s why we need you.
So, here’s what we’re looking for:
Someone who’s nice and reasonable. Who can work insanely hard when needed (which is not always but often enough). We’re looking for someone smart with a broad range of interests, who loves learning new things – at this stage there is no such thing as a fixed role. Engineers tag along on sales calls and the CEO (me) commits stuff to Github. The upside is that you get to dive in wherever you find something interesting to do, the downside is that everyone else will be on your case.
The Burt development HQ is located in the beautiful downtown of Göteborg, Sweden, but we’ve got people working in Stockholm and London, UK.
Alright. So these are what we’re looking to fill right now:
Frontend developer
Platform developer
