Original posting
Voxer
We launched Voxer in 2011 and have since become one of the fastest growing voice applications in the world. What we've built is already an important part of the daily lives of millions of people.
We're a surprisingly small team doing this. Only about a dozen engineers who previously worked at Danger, Android, Apple & Twitter. We helped build things like redis for node.js and are contributors to the node.js community. Voxer is built using node.js, Riak and Redis.

San Francisco, CA - Hadoop Engineer
We are solving really hard problems at massive scale with Node.js, Riak, Redis and run on Joyent Cloud.
We are generating a lot of data in the process - more than 25 billion events every day. We just jumped into the Hadoop ecosystem and are running our own cluster which processes terabyte. If you love working on these kinds of problems, get in touch and maybe we can figure them out together.
You'll get to work on:
* Help scale and develop our Hadoop cluster.
* Understand the patterns of groups, billions of messages with location data and social graph patterns.
Some of the things we look for are:
* Some formal education in Computer Science or equivalent, but the exact degree or number of years of professional experience you have isn't as important as your enthusiasm and ability.
* If half of your resume talk about animal-named systems you're probably the right person for the job
* You’re interested in how we can better understand what drives our user growth and user engagement and we can engineer the product to increase it.
* Hadoop experience We are starting to incorporate these technologies into our operations
* Experience working with Hive, Pig or Hbase
* Thorough understanding of statistical analysis.
