San Francisco, CA or Portland, OR - Engineers and business people Urban Airship is hiring all kinds of engineers and business people in San Francisco and Portland. We have a travel program between the cities, so you'd get to know 2 badass cities. Urban Airship helps mobile developers send push notifications at high volumes across iOS, Android, Blackberry, WP7, Kindle, etc. - 10 billion push notifications sent. We're sending about 2.5 billion per month now. - Our systems are engineered to send about 50,000 push notifications per second. We want to "light up a stadium in a second". - We have huge customers like The New York Times, ESPN, USA Today, Groupon, LivingSocial, BET, etc. - We're about 50 people and just raised $15M from Intel, Verizon, and SalesForce. - Working on advanced segmentation of users to send smarter push notifications. - Great, hardworking leadership, one of the most important things in a startup. - Ping pong showdowns. Lagunitas keg and bourbon in the office. Fun, connected, smart, and badass co-workers that are 100% startup. The formal job listings are here: http://urbanairship.com/company/jobs/ but we're hiring smart engineers with a broad range of skills.
