Boston, MA &#38; Providence, RI -- Full time &#38; interns
AppNeta (formerly Tracelytics) <a href="http://dev.appneta.com" >http://dev.appneta.com</a>
We work on elegantly answering questions about performance that web developers face each day.  We ship instrumentation extensions for a growing list of web servers and application languages (Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc) that follow &#38; monitor web requests as they are forwarded between processes and servers.
We sit atop mountains of data and strive to provide intelligent, actionable insights for our customers about the performance of their app's code &#38; servers.  Processing &#38; visualizing it all (at scale) is a big challenge, and we’re looking for talented engineers to help us.
Our current (and growing) "big data" stack consists of have a data faucet and processing pipeline that does a ton of writes (Python, Cassandra, Hadoop, MySQL, Celery, C/C++, etc), a web backend that does a comparably lower number of reads (Python), and an elegant, powerful interface (Backbone, D3, jQuery).  We also use TBone, a Backbone library that we open-sourced that automagically manages data dependencies for you: <a href="http://tbonejs.org" >http://tbonejs.org</a>
We're a small team backed by a strong, growing company that is investing heavily in our product's future.  Our work is distributed, agile, and test-driven.  We're based in Boston, MA, with an office in Providence, RI.  If you're interested drop me a line at REDACTED_EMAIL or visit <a href="http://dev.appneta.com" >http://dev.appneta.com</a>!  Thanks!
