At twitch we work with the largest people in the gaming industry. We've rocketed to the top of the gaming industry food chain - all within 2 years of our launch. We're looking for talented engineers that like building the right things in the right way.
Feel free to hit me up if you're interested / have questions, I head up our engineering team:

We're looking for full stack engineers (Ember.js on the front end, rails on the backend) and Dev Ops engineers (help us scale our data tier, help us move over to jruby, we already serve thousands of requests/sec across our infrastructure - help us reach millions!).
At twitch we've a range of work to do on the backend. With the "easy" scaling challenges behind us we're now working out how to go from ~40m MAU to about 10x that. You'll be working with people working on the worlds largest live video streaming platform. Interest in gaming not required in this case! (though it doesn't hurt ;)).
Challenges that we're undertaking in this regard are varied, here is a sample of things we're doing, or are planning on doing:
* scale out our new HLS video platform
* build the new tools we need to support many more engineers pushing code constantly
* scale our database
* design a "task" system which permits us to deploy code to arbitrary machines and route requests to these processes
* monitoring everything and working to keep all requests as snappy as possible
As per above, we're now focused on our product - are large part of that is focusing on bringing in more money. Right now our users subscribe to broadcasters, we take a cut and we pass on the lions share to the broadcaster. Users love this, they like knowing that they're supporting their favourite broadcasters. We're finding new ways to have users support their broadcasters and we need engineers to help with that! If you've integrated various payment providers, integrated ad servers, etc, you're definitely the type of person we want to chat with!
We spent the first 18 months of our life scaling the heck out of our platform. We were growing at 1m MAU month over month. Now we're growing even faster, but we're better at the scaling side of things so we're able to focus on building out the product. You'll be involved in helping us execute on our product roadmap. We're highly analytics focused and love to kill ideas as much as have them succeed. We're building aspects to our product which will engage users _even more_ than they're currently engaged.
