Dropbox ( http://www.dropbox.com/ ) is looking for an engineer to help with our backend architecture and scalability. Lots of nasty, difficult challenges interfacing with millions of software clients and keeping a multi-petabyte filesystem running. We're located in downtown SF. Needs to be proficient in C, Python, MySQL. Needs to be able to pick up new systems quickly. Great GPA from a top 5 CS school a plus. If this…

Have you found that being a graduate from a top 5 CS school is a good indicator of being a good performer? I know that the early Dropbox team was almost entirely MIT grads, but at the same time, I know a lot of GREAT programmers who haven't come from top 5 programs.

LimeWire is hiring Python, Scala, Java, and Javascript developers to help build its next generation music service.

I am the tech lead of the REST APIs component, which is written in Scala. We are using a Service Oriented Architecture with back end services written in Python and Java, all communicating via Thrift. RabbitMQ, MySQL, Memcached, Solr, Riak and cloud deployment round out our back end stack. Front end is HTML5/CSS3. We use Git.

With 5 weeks paid time off + 10 holidays, free lunch every day, made-to-order breakfast twice a week, and rooftop parties, it's easy to get used to working here.

Airbnb is hiring 10+ people right now. In particular, we could use some Front End Engineers (backend knowledge is a big plus). Our team is small and you will have a huge impact on the product. Email me directly at chris@airbnb.com if you: 1) are nasty with Javascript / CSS / HTML 2) can prove it with existing work on great websites or projects 3) love the idea of Airbnb More about our jobs here: http://www.airbnb.com…

Is remote work possible or only on-site?

On site in San Francisco. We feel it's important for our early employees to experience the unique office and culture we've created.
