Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just to add to this: Our group has a lot of elements that resemble a startup. So for those of you who might be "lurkers" who are a bit afraid of a startup, our group can provide you with some of the benefits you might be craving: small team, interesting projects, wide technical leeway (we like the right tool for the job), and a fun work environment. Some of the things we've been using lately: - Python/Django - JavaSc…

I'm a little confused... You describe a small team, interesting projects, wide technical leeway but the specific job your advertising here is one in QA... that person won't actually be able to exercise 'from scratch' development other than a test bed for QA...?

We basically need a developer who can own QA, but we expect this person would also have opportunities to do from scratch development on some of our projects too. It's a hybrid role that requires just the right person, which is why we are reaching out here. What we are looking to avoid is someone who "puts up with" the QA because they are interested in the software development side of things. We would really like a QA person who also wants to dabble just a bit in regular "from scratch" development.

Um. Wow. If this isn't April Fool's...

No, not April Fool's. It's an ambitious goal I accept though.

Memphis, TN - Infrastructure Engineer

We design/develop/scale an interactive mapping platform. Our early products were all about superimposing cell phone coverage for carriers on a world map for them to embed in their websites. Now we have a platform for in-browser comparative analysis of arbitrary spatial information. We currently load it up with information about the wireless, cable, and telecom industries.

I'm looking for talented engineers who can get down and dirty with optimization, configuration management, distributed systems, and architecture design. Two positions are open currently.

Stuff you'll be fooling with: Solr, HDFS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Chef, Ruby, Python, and C. Knowledge of Corosync/Heartbeat, ZooKeeper, AMQP, Flume/Scribe, BigTable/Dynamo inspired systems, or Scala is a plus.
