Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (August 2012)

BetterServers is building the fastest and most reliable cloud-based VMs in the world, and we could use some help. We're looking for passionate, energetic (really), full-stack engineers (preferably Perl or PHP). We use a lot of different technologies, so the ability to learn new things quickly is the most important skill. We're small (currently 20-ish employees), but have benefits and great salaries. We love foosball and table tennis. Lots of free sodas and food in the breakroom, etc. It's a nice gig :)

* HTML/CSS/Javascript * solid Perl/PHP
