We're growing!
We live and breathe product and ship to production every day. We're obsessed with measurement and data to inform decisions, learning about our customers and their problems, and doing whatever it takes to minimize waste.
We hack with a wide range of technologies: from Python and Clojure, to Cassandra, Hadoop and Thrift. We open sourced Cascalog, a query for Hadoop, created a database optimized for batch exporting and serving data and are currently developing a stream processing framework (code-named Thunderlog) that will generalize our real-time work-flow much like Hadoop does for batch work-flows.
For the back-end hackers:
- we have > 25 TB of compressed data
- more than 100 billion records
- serve more than 400 requests per second
- operate a cluster ranging from 60 to 150 nodes
- we do this with 3 full-time people (just added two interns)
For the front-end hackers, our flexible back-end lets you build what customers ask for very rapidly. Features that take other companies months take us less than 24 hours.
We have world-class investors (http://twitter.com/BackType/investors/members) helping us out and are generating significant revenues. Drop us a line at jobs@backtype.com.
