Leading provider of local online marketing solutions seeking
talented software engineer with an interest in web services

ReachLocal, Inc. is looking for a motivated Software Engineer (SE) to
join its growing software development team. Day to day activities will
include developing, maintaining, testing, supporting, and documenting
our external partner integration software. This software communicates
with the APIs of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and others and executes
hundreds of thousands of commands every day against those APIs.

With direction from a team lead, the SE will be involved in
requirements gathering, design, implementation, bug fixing, and code
refactoring. The SE will also help ensure the system can efficiently
scale as Reachlocal grows, and will work closely with our Quality
Assurance team to ensure the correctness and robustness of the
software.

The ideal candidate must work well in teams and on an individual
basis, enjoy automating tasks that would take humans a prohibitive
amount of time, and be interested in taking our software to the next
level. This talented developer should be skilled at balancing
priorities and will need to keep up with the new features our
publishers make available to us while working in an unstructured, fast-
paced, start-up environment.

Does this sound like you? If so, know that ReachLocal offers a
challenging work environment with opportunities to learn new
technologies and grow as a developer, as well as a competitive salary
and full benefits including a 401(k) plan and stock options.
