My friends over at [[[Mahalo]]] are looking for a Senior Engineer. Here’s the details:

Wanted: Senior Engineer

Do you fit the bill? If not, do you know someone who does? Feel free to email me (chris@mahalo.com) to learn more or send a CV.

Mahalo.com, Inc. is a new human-powered social search service backed by Sequoia Capital (the world’s #1 venture firm), Newscorp, CBS, Elon Musk (Paypal founder), Mark Cuban and others. This kind of opportunity is **extremely rare** in LA: these high-profile rewards are usually found only in Silicon Valley.

Responsibilities:
* Creation of a massively scalable, high-performance platform for the next generation of web search.

Qualifications:
* Experience with large-scale, complex distributed Linux/Unix applications, cluster management systems.
* PHP 5.x, MySQL 5.x, memcache 1.2.x
* HTTP, HTTPS, Unicast and Multicast socket programming
* Unix shell scripting
* Applicants with C, Java, and Objective-C experience preferred
* Bonus: Hadoop / HBase, Lucene, Nutch, Spread

Pluses:
* Hadoop / Hbase
* Experience working with Lucene, Map/Reduce and Bigtable
* Front-end skills: HTML/DHTML/CSS/Javascript/Ajax
* MySQL sysadmin skills: replication and tuning

You are a HANDS ON implementor, a get-it-done kind of developer. The right person is a self starter with the “general get it factor”. You work well with a team of like-minded engineers, and have a genuine desire for excellence.

Well rounded candidates such as release engineers with a background in both large corporate environments and small startups have an edge.

Please send a RESUME.

No Recruiters! No off-shore job shops!

If you’re looking for work and you meet these qualifications, please make sure you reach out to Chris Miller (chris at mahalo dot com).
