The announcement text:

Meetup is seeking a self-motivated and entrepreneurial Lead Systems Architect to join our NYC based team to help us scale the service. Do you love to not only code, but to also be involved in how that code is deployed? Do you enjoy finding creative ways to squeeze extra performance out of code, databases, and infrastructure? Do you see solutions others don`t? Do you value pragmatism over dogma? Are you at a point in your career where you want to teach and mentor others, while at the same time still be able to spend much, if not most of your time with your hands in the technology? Do you love web technology? Do you have web side projects that you work on for fun?

Meetup is a Java shop built on mostly open source software (Apache, Linux, MySQL, Memcached, MogileFS, Hbase/Hadoop, ...). We are a company that values doers over talkers, mentors over managers, and self-management over bureaucracy. We are a company where people who take risks and win are rewarded and grow. We are seeking an experienced Leader/Doer to sit in a role that crosses software development, systems, and DBA with the sole focus on performance, capacity, and reliability.

You would be responsible for:

* Being a leader and a coach to the systems team.

* Health of the production, development, and QA infrastructure.

* The data environment (MySQL and Hadoop/Hbase).

* Proposing *and* implementing architecture changes (systems, data model, or code) in order to make architecture more scalable/reliable.

* Developing and launching a rapid disaster recovery plan.

* Being a senior leader in the company ... more mentors are always needed and wanted.

The right person:

* Must be a Rockstar Coder (Java necessary, Perl/Python/Ruby would be awesome).

* Has solid Linux Administration skills.

* Has data modeling experience using MySQL/Innodb.

* Has high traffic web experience.

* Has scaled systems w/ little budget (we have the ability to buy solutions, but not too impressive to hear about people scaling on a large budget).

* Values working as part of a team over being the solo hero.

* Has the ability and the desire to be *very* hands on.

* Can`t imagine not working at a startup.

* Is a self manager and loves to get things quickly w/out sacrificing quality.

If this sounds like you, then please submit your resume and cover letter to jobs@meetup.com. Your cover letter MUST include salary requirements and what inspired you to apply for a position at Meetup. Resumes without cover letters will NOT be considered. This is a senior position and a great opportunity to join a small, smart, and innovative team at a results-oriented company with an excellent financial footing, a viable and proven business model, and more importantly, a mission to change the world.

Please reference the job title and your name in your subject line.
