Original posting

Skype - Palo Alto, CA - Software Engineer Fulltime, H1B We are building large-scale elastic services to support the evolution of the Skype network. The important part is that we have a lot of fun building and owning distributed systems and are looking for engineers who can come in and push their first feature to production within a few days of starting and who can also help us get that duration down to hours. The stack is primarily azure/.net/C#, although there is some node.js in the house and when we do UIs we don't use biggish server-side stacks. But when we do server-side systems we run them on 1000s of instances and support 10^5 req/sec all day, every day. The key is that we own our own systems and hence our destiny.
