San Francisco, CA (Union Square) Fulltime. H1Bs are gone for 2012...but if you're good we'll work to figure out something.

Justin.tv's Twitch is the largest video game broadcasting site in the world and growing FAST. We are adding over a million users a month, and are looking for talented engineers looking to tackle challenging technical problems at SCALE.

Not only have we been growing exponentially (6 million unique visitors in June 2011 to 19 million in June 2012) our engagement has been growing even faster. Each unique visitor now spends over 75 minutes on average on Twitch.

Check out our jobs page at twitch.tv/jobs to get an idea of the problems we're tackling.

Feel free to email me directly if you'd like to set up a time to chat and learn more, or if you have any questions. brooke@twitch.tv

Software Engineers in Boston area (Waltham, MA)

Actifio is looking for software engineers. Actifio is radically simple copy data management. We've invented some really cool technology to do things no other system can, and we're dead easy to use. This is not your mother's enterprise software!

Actifio has been invested in by top VC firms (one of the very few East Coast companies in Andreessen Horowitz's portfolio) and is growing super fast.

We're always looking for smart engineers in every team, but since I'm on the deduplication team, I'll have to pitch you on that :)

Dedup seems like an easy problem to solve. Split the data up into blocks and make sure you only store one of each. But at scale, it becomes a whole different animal.

When you've got 128TB of 4KB blocks, you have 32 billion unique blocks of data to manage. Making our dedup ingest, restore, and garbage collect fast is a great challenge, especially with "only" 128 GB of RAM.

If you'd like to chat about a job opportunity, I'm at chris.murphy@actifio.com. Since I'm an engineer, I'm not going to type a list of silly requirements. Just send me a resume and whatever else you think I'd like to know.

REMOTE DevOps - deviantART, Inc. (http://deviantart.theresumator.com/apply/tevH3P/DevOps-Engin...)

We're an Alexa top-150 site with a very small and tight DevOps team. For leverage, we automate as much as possible and build tools when they don't already exist.

You'll be working directly with a few other senior DevOps engineers. You will not have to report to any non-engineer managers.

Did I mention that the position is remote?

Birchbox NYC(Union Square)

Growing by leaps and bounds.

We work with a wide variety of open-source technologies: Debian-based servers; Chef deployments; Ruby on Rails and Java services; Python scripts; and even PHP and Perl, God forbid. The size of our team and the breadth of its responsibilities means we rely on our engineers to be self-motivated and quickly follow through on tasks without requiring close supervision. In return our engineers are given leeway to use their own initiative.
