Vikram: I came across your profile and saw your depth in System Engineering & High-Availability Systems as well as experience with Python. Our user base has more than doubled in the last year and we now have 6MM users. We have a new user every 5 seconds and are sending over 100MM peer-to-peer emails a month. Also, We have completely rebuilt our web platform in Ruby on Rails and have green field architecture.
I'd love to chat more about what we are doing, and how you might be able to contribute. Some news about us: CouchSurfing received a Series B investment of $15M by Benchmark and Menlo Ventures, adding Matt Cohler (5th employee at Facebook; 1st VP of Product) to our board who will be working closely with us on product strategy. We are looking to build out our iOS and Android mobile teams, which are currently only 3 engineers and will quadruple in size soon. We have a ton of architecture and new location-based and P2P features to add, and will soon develop for a number of tablets. Our web platform team is a dozen mid-senior level engineers and will be developing a slew of new analytics, performance and search improvements. We're located in lower Potrero Hill in SF near Caltrain and have some quite unusual perks. regards, Anthony -- Anthony Mansfield - Technical Recruiter - couchsurfing.com<http://couchsurfing.org> [email protected] <[email protected]>
