and the middle-tier and frontend applications that are built upon it.

We're a venture-funded startup located in Foster City, CA. We can offer
you:

* the chance to play a major role in the development of
leading-edge technology, to tackle hard problems, and to work
with colleagues who are intelligent, motivated, and passionate
about writing great software

* an exciting startup environment

* highly-competitive compensation, including stock options and
health benefits
