About us:

Aptana is about cutting-edge infrastructure for modern, Ajax-based web applications. We already have the leading Ajax IDE in the market (over 1.5M downloads)... . We've recently launched the world's first true Ajax server, Jaxer, and it's getting strong traction. And now we're building out a third product that will take our goal of "End to End Ajax" even further. By the way, our company was founded by Paul Colton, who built JRun, the first (and wildly successful) Java servlet and JSP server; and Nico Nierenberg, the founder and chairman of Actuate. And we're well funded by Accel Partners.

What we are looking for:

• Someone that insists on keeping their hands dirty and building cool stuff
• Someone who believes that they (with a small team) can build *anything*
• Someone who enjoys taking on difficult tasks
• An out-of-the-box creative thinker

The Opportunity:

• Work with awesome people (us)
• Be the technical leader of a new product initiative at the very core of our company
• Build infrastructure that will define the next generation of web application development
• Craft server architecture that is efficient, fault tolerant, scalable, and plays nicely with other web infrastructure
• Embrace open source and contribute to the community as well as harness its resources
  

Reponsibilities:

• Architect and build *a lot* of code, in C/C++, and possibly also Java and other languages. If you don't love and want to code, please don't apply.
• Design and build the product. Make it happen.
• Mentor other engineers
• Defend your own ideas and pick away at other people's
• Be wrong every now and then

• Thorough understanding of threading, caching, and technologies related to web server scalability and performance
  
• Experience hacking on Mozilla, Apache web server, Tomcat, JBoss, and other open source server technologies
