You should think that's pretty incredible. http://fanout.io/open/ Important pieces of our stack: C++ & Python/Django, ZeroMQ, Mongrel2, Redis. Your job: - Help us build out and scale our distributed cloud service. - Squeeze the most value out of our servers. - Make the service bulletproof. - Gloat about how you get paid to code publicly on GitHub.
