In a world of SaaS engineering and agile development, the decades old model of "build, test, ship ... every eighteen months" is no longer a reality. More and more engineering organizations are relying on a model of continuous deployment and software gets deployed live to production systems daily if not a few times a day. Facebook, Twitter, GitHub are amongst the many examples (relevant talk: http://agilewarrior.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/how-facebook-pushes-new-code-live/). Unfortunately there are no integrated solutions that handle this problem comprehensively. This is where you come in! Come join a team of extremely talented, passionate seasoned engineers build a comprehensive, flexible and highly scalable continuous deployment solution from the ground up. This is a job for those passionate about software engineering and technology with the opportunity to change the way the industry works (while having a lot of fun on the way there). Engineers working on this project will work closely with veteran engineers working from our offices in Silicon Valley.
