I’m one of the engineers [Vodpod.com](http://Vodpod.com), a community powered video site based in San Francisco. We’re currently a small team of 4, and are looking to add a 5th. Although we are located in SF, working remotely can be arranged, as long as you can spend a few days in SF every couple of months. We’re looking for smart, motivated, “jack of all trades” types who are just as comfortable with slinging RoR code as they are with fixing up a nasty MySQL query that’s “using filesort; using temporary” and pinning the DB. We work in a fast paced environment where priorities are frequently changing, and the ability to juggle multiple tasks at once while also handling user supports requests is crucial. We currently reach about 6mm unique visitors a month on about 20mm pageviews, so if you like dealing with scaling and performance and seeing your code get used by millions, then I think you’d love working with us. Strong opinions on what constitutes a good user experience is important, as is a good eye for design (you needn’t be a designer, but if you think [drudgereport.com](http://drudgereport.com) is a good looking site, then this probably isn’t for you!). We’re backed by True Ventures, the folks behind Wordpress and Meebo, and have a couple of years cash in the bank. If you’re interested, check out [http://vodpod.com](http://vodpod.com) and [http://vodpod.com/jobs](http://vodpod.com/jobs) and shoot us an email (and mention this group). Spencer
