#287www.drawntoscale.com Just drop a line to spire@drawntoscale.com
We're building Spire, a database for real-time big data. We're building a SQL engine, fulltext search, and more on top of HBase. It's incredibly fun because we get to build a database from scratch, and we get to do some really cool stuff with distributed systems.
We’re obsessed with building pragmatic things that work in “the real world” and joining them with the most cutting-edge distributed systems research. We’ve built and run some of the largest companies and infrastructures: Sun, Amazon, Google, Intel, and more. Even the CEO codes almost every day.
Engineer: Database Core / Distributed Systems: San Francisco
Help our core team build a database from the ground up. Finally, you can do things “the way they should be”. Instead of a db from the 1980′s, we’re creating a platform for modern, real-time applications.
Here are some things you may enjoy doing or learning about:
-Building query planners and optimizers -Compiler design -Functional programming (Scala, Clojure, etc.) -Distributed systems architecture: failover, replication -JVM tuning and performance hacks -Turning academic research into reality -Resilient systems for the real world -Engineer: Operations and Automation: San Francisco
Yes, this is a “DevOps” role. If you like coding and systems work, you’re going to enjoy this. You’ll be the one responsible for building clusters that heal themselves and deploy seamlessly in the cloud or customer sites.
-Cluster automation -Deployment frameworks like Chef, Puppet, CFEngine -Building monitoring tools that you enjoy using -Upgrading and recovering from failure with no downtime -How to make Linux behave -Hadoop/HBase/BigTable/other distributed systems -And perhaps a bit of UX hackin’

I had a conversation with your CEO once that made my stomach sink pretty badly. Your emphasis on academic credentials rather than projects, portfolio, or experience at the time for potential hires really put me off.
