#212Everyone has data, and it's always growing. This growth in data means that we need an effective way to store massive amounts of data. OpenStack Swift is designed to effectively store massive amounts of data while providing high durability, high availability, and support massive concurrency across the entire data set. SwiftStack is building management, monitoring, and integration tools to turn the Swift storage engine into an effective storage solution that is used by millions, daily.
We're looking for engineers of all experience levels to join us. We do most of our work in Python, but we've got some Ruby, Javascript, and a few other things mixed into our stack.
So far this year, we've built out global clusters for a major expense reporting and travel support site[1], provided the storage system for Disney Interactive's gaming platform[2], and integrated Swift into radical new hard drive technology from Seagate[3]. We're currently working with companies like Intel and Box to build support for erasure codes into Swift[4].
My vision for OpenStack Swift is that it will be used by everyone, every day, even if they don't realize it. Swift is storage that is built for the web and already powers some of the world's largest storage clouds. I would like to work with you at SwiftStack to see this vision become a reality.
Interested? Send us an email at jobs@swiftstack.com. Send us your github profile, your LinkedIn account, a link to your website – whatever will best display the work that you’ve done. Tell us in a few lines of text why you’re interested in SwiftStack, and why we’ll be interested in you. We’ll be back in touch shortly to get the conversation started.

#217AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange markets.
We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything, designing and implementing our own trading strategies and infrastructure. We're a very small team (I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers who will focus on strategy and/or on infrastructure.
No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.
An example of an infrastructure project is designing and building a system for logging to non-volatile memory. We generate large logs that cover everything from prices to transaction data. NVDIMMs are a form of RAM that survives power loss, and such hardware has been on the horizon for a while, but it is just now becoming available to early adopters. Writes to NVDIMMs will be nearly instantaneous and immediately durable. This project will be to develop an NVDIMM-based system that simultaneously functions as a log, an IPC mechanism, and a searchable database for analysis. Making this work will involve a number of pieces: kernel drivers, CPU cache control, lock-free synchronization, a daemon to write everything back to long-term (i.e. less expensive) storage, and more. If this works well, we plan to open-source all the pieces.

#219FULL STACK ENGINEER
Who are you?
You love solving real problems with computers. Programming challenges are fun, but you want to make a real dent in the world, and code is your tool of choice.
You're fluent in MVC frameworks and web programming because you understand the power of the Internet. You're scrappy, not dogmatic, and tackle new features knowing perfect is the enemy of good.
You get users, and feel their pain. Code is not a world to itself; it's a powerful and elegant means of solving complicated problems for users and bringing simplicity to people's lives.
Who are we?
We are Chewse, and we make ordering office lunches a delight. We believe good food is a powerful force for uniting people, and we want to wield it to build stronger communities everywhere.
We are a young startup and a small, passionate team that's hungry to tackle really big problems. We're located in a work loft in San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood. We have a kitchen. (And we like to use it.)
What is the job?
- Deploy new features and bugfixes in Python and JavaScript every week - Work with product and design to understand our users - Contribute to product strategy and business decisions
What do we need?
- Experience building production web applications - Comfortable coding frontend and backend - Also nice: familiarity with Python, Django, Angular.js, and a passion for food
Why should you join us?
- Do something that matters! - Work with a talented and friendly team - Weekly lunch and learn events - Real, meaningful equity - Free food! We cook together, we eat together
How do I apply?
Send a cover letter and resume to jeff@chewse.com with the subject "Solving real problems".
UX AND JAVASCRIPT ENGINEER
Who are you?
You work comfortably in two worlds: design and code. Because you know that's how shit actually gets done.
You get users. You feel their pain like it was your own, and you never stop thinking about how good design can solve their problems. Navigating the tradeoffs to achieve simplicity is what you live for because you know good design isn't always pretty.
But it's not just design for you — you feel a drive to build your own solutions. You know the ins and outs of the beast that is JavaScript. You know how closures work and how to tame prototypal inheritance. You want to work with power tools like Angular.js to bring your designs to life.

If I understand what you're saying correctly, I don't believe you can invokee a constructor defined in one window within another window ever. Javascript code is sandboxed to its current window/session in all browsers. You can't have multiple windows interacting with each other without some form of server-side code being involved. For what you're talking about (a web framework that has real time communication capabili…
var win = window.open(some_url_on_the_same_domain);
or var parent = window.parent;
Now, you can access global variables on either parent or win.
