Are you excited about the intersection of social media, online publishing and content consumption? Do you dream about scaling a system that moves more than 2 million pieces of content every day, and applies intelligence to understand how content becomes popular? Then Twitterfeed wants to talk to you!
Twitterfeed is looking for a lead engineer to work with our distributed team and to take control of the roadmap, architect new features, and implement availability and performance guarantees.
Twitterfeed is by far the largest publisher to Twitter and Facebook, with over 800,000 users pushing more than 1.6 million feeds to over 2 million Twitter and Facebook accounts, every day. When the web is changing from a place where you find content to where content finds you, Twitterfeed is well placed to do great things in this space. Twitterfeed is part of betaworks, the team behind Summize (acquired by Twitter), bit.ly, Tweetdeck and chartbeat.

+ strong unix/linux background
+ conversant in html/css/javascript
