Skype - Palo Alto
Skype is looking for a big data engineer to help instrument and analyze the gargantuan P2P network that is Skype.  Nosql, hadoop, map/reduce, node.js are the main drivers, although there will be integration with azure and esoteric legacy systems to keep it real.  We need a solid, open minded engineer who has worked with all kinds of distributed systems and is not afraid of big challenges.
You'll need to be able to anaylze, interpret, publish, and present complex problems and solutions to a wide variety of people.  You'll be involved in the ground floor of Big Data at Skype, so you'll need to be able to find paths to success in a sea of confusion and conflicting priorities.
You should really dig machine learning, data mining, stats, and math in general and understand the fuzziness of "answers" in the real world.
