Would you consider Java developers that have had extensive exposure to C++ in a university setting (OS development, Comp Architecture, etc.)?
Any interest in JVM developers?
What subset of C++ do you use?
We use C++11 pretty heavily (with a few exceptions). We also use exceptions, and a very judicious use of boost. You can browse the code here -- https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/tree/next/src.
We're making it dramatically easier for the world to shift to realtime apps with an exciting new database access model -- instead of polling the database for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime.
We're hiring C++ engineers to work on performance, the continuous computation engine, and the distributed system -- http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/systems-engineer/
RethinkDB is fun, very technically challenging, well-funded, and is growing very quickly. Intellectually, we're also PL nerds (mostly Lisp and Haskell/ML), so if that's your cup of tea you'll be right at home!
