Klout is looking for some seriously awesome engineers to work on our Web Design team.  You'll be working on cutting edge tech and with really smart people who are passionate about social and the next generation social web.  If you want to work on building social products that let our users engage with other influencers, you need to be working here.  

The front end web dev team consists of a very small group working closely together on the consumer facing part of our tech stack.  Kevin runs that team and reports directly to our VP of Eng. 

Since we're a start up it's going to be a mix of both, but we're creating, building and iterating on products that come directly from all the massive amounts of data we collect and our Data Science teams work on.  It's definitely exciting and challenging.  New product ideas happen regularly and new product ideas can come from anywhere.

Since most of the things we're doing at Klout are social, involve big data and are new to the web, it's always interesting and creative.  You're going to be building really strong products that matter for our consumers.  That's challenging and that's hard but creating something totally new and disruptive is never easy.  Come prepared.

We're a fast growing start-up, we have cross functional teams and your work will be visible so there's tremendous opportunity for you to get noticed.  Not only that, we believe in developing our people so we offer leadership trainings, we have quarterly review cycles and we will support you in getting to where you want to be.  Growing and developing our people internally is definitely a value we have and cultivate.
