INFOCHIMPS

FULL-TIME, AUSTIN, TX (remote is a possibility for the right candidate)

DATA ENGINEER and OPERATIONS ENGINEER (Data Architect/ DevOps are also apt descriptions here)

Infochimps is a world-class big data shop, with a unique approach and philosophy that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. We’re the authors of Ironfan, the premiere way to manage clusters in the cloud (http://github.com/infochimps-labs/ironfan). Our data pipeline uses technologies such as HBase, Elastic Search, Flume, Pig, and Hadoop. We’ve also developed tools of our own to make the ingestion pipeline run more smoothly, like a Ruby-based interface to Hadoop and a bulk loader for Elastic Search, that you can check out at http://github.com/infochimps-labs.

Like calls unto like. Attracting genius-level talent like Kurt is a great sign of things to come for the Infochimps. :)
