As an Infrastructure Software Engineer you work in the most intense area of our company, building exciting tools that keep our system running 24x7. You work in the fast-paced, Internet-driven industry where you are expected to eat, sleep, and dream about uptime and reliability. You work in a small team environment with some of the smartest developers in the country (at least we think) where creativity and hard work collide to produce cutting-edge web applications. We need you because your talent, hard work, and dedication allow us to scale our email hosting system across hundreds of servers, and constantly think of ways to make the system faster, smarter and easier to manage.

We compete in the same space as Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo because the work that you do allows us to. Your thoughts, ideas, input, and creativity are pushed to the limit because pushing past the boundaries of today's email hosting standards is the only way we're going to become #1. The pressure is on. Are you ready?

Your responsibilities to the customers (the people who pay us the big bucks) include:

• Thinking, creating, pushing farther, developing new products;
• Taking those products and making them bigger and better; and
• Helping to build the best email hosting system in the world.

Your responsibilities to internal departments (the people pounding at your door) include:

• Educating the Customer Care and Sales Departments on new products and features;
• Answering questions from other employees about products; and
• Developing tools that will be utilized by departments such as Finance, Support, and Sales (depending on your position).

Important Skills and Characteristics:

You should be able to switch easily between programming languages and have intimate knowledge of some of the following:

Databases MySQL SQL Server

Scripting Languages PHP Perl Linux Shell

Languages C/C++ Java

You should also have a solid understanding of the Linux Operating System.

You're going to do just fine here if:

• You are passionate about our products and services as well as the projects we're working on;
• You are hardworking, self-motivated, and passionate about learning and working with the latest technologies;
• You love having to think outside the box to find solutions to problems;
