IMDb.com (the Internet Movie Database), the world's most popular movie website, is expanding our advertising team. If you're an experienced software developer whose passion is building robust, scalable and maintainable systems, this is your chance to build the systems that drive the majority of our revenue stream.

As a member of the advertising team, you'll be responsible for developing everything from back-end systems that help our sales team land contracts, to improving our ad-serving and tracking infrastructure to developing new types of ad placements for the website.

We have a great work environment and a strongly cohesive group of talented people. Our developers enjoy a lot of creative control over projects and work on challenging and interesting problems. A love of movies is suggested, but not required; be prepared to be surrounded by debates about the best Hitchcock film ever made and discussions about what might happen when Battlestar Galactica returns. We are a telecommute-friendly workplace. As a separately operated subsidiary of Amazon.com, we offer the benefits and stability of a Fortune 500 company, combined with engaging, close-knit, results-focused environment of a small company. It's the best of both worlds.

You build cool features used by millions of IMDb visitors every day, keeping them stuck to the site like glue.

You can't wait to expose IMDb's deep data set in new and interesting avenues, such as through social networking apps or on mobile devices.

You thrive in a smallish team of superstar developers whose charter is one of the biggest websites on the planet: the main IMDb.com website.

You write code that scales to millions of operations a day across a large fleet of servers. You heart UNIX. You regularly hang out with your buddies Perl, SQL, Mason, and Ajax. You distrust code that doesn't "use strict" or have a unit test.

You move fluidly between functional and object-oriented programming models, whichever works best for the problem at hand. You automate as much as possible. You are fundamentally a problem solver, and boy does IMDb have problems to solve: large data sets, increasing scale, increasing expectations for site visitors who want their data to be fresh, relevant, accurate, and easily updated in realtime. These and a strong cup of coffee get you up on Monday morning.

Best of all, you work with a fantastic team of talented and experienced engineers, who are experts in everything from security to metaprogramming to distributed computing. Your work is rigorously reviewed by your colleagues, who expose you to new patterns and approaches in problem solving. But they do this in a nice way that means that you all go to lunch together and keep talking about these things.

You seek to leverage the resources and scale of Amazon, but on a smaller, more nimble team working in a different business model than e-commerce.

You are an experienced software developer and you are the newest member of IMDb's Consumer Site team!
