Urbanairship in Portland, OR is hiring for an Ops position: http://urbanairship.com/jobs/operations-engineer/
I just applied, and somehow that jobscore thing ate my cover letter! Argh!
That's pretty rare, so sorry it happened, but email support@jobscore.com and we'll fix you up.
... that description is full of shit. I'll have to talk to my manager about that.
Basically, we need three things from a sysadmin candidate:
We're a Debian/Ubuntu shop, with huge deployments of MySQL. Some of the job is day-to-day management of servers. You should know how to manage databases and handle replication.
We also require solid networking knowledge. You should know about the difference between TCP and UDP, and be able to explain Spanning Tree or ARP. (It actually shocks me how many sysadmins don't have this knowledge.)
The third part is programming ability. Most of what ops does is in Perl, but we also have to interact with other systems, so any knowledge of Python, PHP, etc. will enhance your appeal.
We're doing pretty awesome things, and only getting bigger and better. Come work with me! :-)
(E-Mail to treed@imvu.com if you have any questions or whatever.)

Have you started responding to job applications yet? I've had friends apply for positions (with amazing, enticing and fun cover letters), and then, after a week or so of hearing nothing following up to ensure that you've received their application only to to continue to hear complete silence. Sending even a form rejection email takes no time at all, especially if you create a task reminding you to do so. Not respondi…
We realised, of course, that this led to a pretty crummy experience (as your friend found out, sorry!). Not everyone saw that message, and those that did likely still wondered if anyone had actually seen their application.
We recently removed that message from our site, and now respond individually to each email (typically within 24 hours) to confirm receipt and let the sender know when we expect to have reviewed their application by. We definitely appreciate the effort that many applicants go to, and want to keep people much better informed throughout the process (we learnt our lesson on this!). Please pass on my apologies to your friend!

Meebo is hiring sysadmins! http://www.meebo.com/jobs/openings/serveropsengineer/
Any chance you would be open to a remote SA? I'm pretty darned good, but also I really don't want to relocate to California. If it helps, I've worked for a partner from one of the funds in your series-A round (we were acquired ~ 2.5 years ago).

Are you married to MySQL, or is there an opportunity to influence you in the Postgres direction?
