Innovative – We aren't a social networking or Web 2.0 photosharing site. We work on core Internet protocols and make them better.
No ladders to climb – We keep a relatively flat corporate structure that promotes fast movement and flexible teams.
Meritocracy – The best ideas win, regardless of where they come from.
Time off to relax – As a startup, we work our butts off. That's why it's important to get away to clear your mind from time to time. Three weeks and 10 company holidays make that easy.
Technologists – We are a company of engineers and technologists passionate about delivering a better Internet.
Profit distributions – We succeed as a team and have an innovative structure where everyone can share in our financial success.
Offsites – It takes getting away for a day every quarter to focus on where we want to be as a company and how we're going to get there.
No timecards – We have a few weekly team meetings, but other than that delivering results counts for a lot more than sitting in your chair.
Food – Hard work makes you hungry. We keeped a well-stocked kitchen with everything from cereal to ice cream.
Frosty beverages – Fridays often end with some nice frosty brewed beverages and good conversations.
Breakfast by the CEO – The early bird gets the worm, or in our case Waffles on Wednesdays, served by our CEO.
Insurance – We've got you covered from you head to your toes. Medical, Dental and Vision.
401K – We're setup to help our team members practice responsible fiscal management.

We're looking for someone to likes to juggle. We have about 10 things going on at once, and some of them have external deadlines, dependencies and deliverables. Some of them are internal projects to improve our quality of life. Some of them make our service better. We need help finding clarity amidst chaos. We need help prioritizing, defining, documenting, iterating, reviewing, and managing projects.
You might not have a background in engineering, but you love being around nerds and making their lives better. You are able to shed light on projects that have fallen into a dark chasm. You can get the right people together to understand what needs to happen to get something back on track, or ensure the resources are available so a project stays on track. You believe the job of an engineer is to write code, not manage a Gantt chart or document their project.

This position is for an experienced software developer looking to work in a company where the impact of their efforts is felt on a daily basis. Here's an example of projects you might work on:
Log Processing — We handle billions and billions of DNS requests each day and provide statistics and insights to hundreds of thousands of IT administrators around the world by logging and analyzing these records. Storing and then summarizing and searching these records is not an easy task. Think you can build a system to scale linearly that is capable of storing between 10 and 20 billion records a day?
Distributed Preferences — We have preferences for hundreds of thousands of IP addresses that we distribute to datacenters all over the world. Over time, storing all these preferences in one file becomes unmanageable and transferring it starts to become a bottleneck in distributing our preferences. How would you architect a reliable and scalable system to rapidly deploy user preferences around the world to hundreds or thousands of servers quickly? How would it be remain stable in the face of various fail cases?
Industry Leading DNS Performance — We constantly strive to run the industry leading DNS servers in terms of capabilities and performance. We provide non-stop delivery of DNS 24x7. We do this with a unique combination of networking and programming talent. Think you could make it better?
