Outside.in looking for a CTO

It's been a very good six months at outside.in. We've launched Radar, our GeoToolkit platform, and just yesterday rolled out our API. And we're starting to see our traffic numbers really take off at an amazing rate: our core site audience has grown 400% this year; more than a thousand bloggers and media sites are now using our tools as part of the outside.in network (and it's only about two months old!) And we've got some great new tools and services in the short-term pipeline...

Of course, that kind of rapid growth creates a new set of challenges, most of them revolving around scaling. To date, our amazing co-founder and CTO Cory Forsyth has done a tremendous job creating the whole outside.in ecosystem, from the core site to the network tools to the admin system. But we know that there are big performance and scaling issues involved in building an architecture that can support massive traffic, and play a critical role in the evolving geo-web across tens of thousands of network partners. Putting all that together is a job in itself.

So we're looking for a CTO who has extensive experience building web applications with that level of usage who will work alongside Cory (he'll become our VP of Engineering.) It's a great gig, with lots of fun challenges and about as enjoyable an office environment as you could imagine. Our CEO Mark Josephson has a blog post here that talks about the job in more detail, but if you're interested drop a line to jobs@outside.in with your resume or LinkedIn profile.
