Want to work on challenging, core technology with a smart team for a well-funded company in San Francisco?
We're PubNub, the real-time engine in the cloud that developers use to build massively scalable real-time apps. We've got hundreds of customers, and process billions of real-time messages each month.

* Help build the architecture that meets the needs of our product roadmap beyond our core current feature set
* Enhance our load testing methodologies to generate "world-of-warcraft" sized load on our system
* Explore various hardware &#38; software strategies for milking the best performance out of various system configurations.
