Java Developer @ Rackspace

My good buddy and fellow super-sourcer / recruiter, Amanda Papp, has some very cool jobs open at Rackspace.

I'm posting one of them below (Java Developer), but if you are interested in becoming a Racker (which is a really cool name for all those who work at Rackspace), check out their career site @ RackspaceCareers.com.

Amanda and team have also set up a blog - check it out and welcome them to the blogosphere! It's called Rackspace Recruiting (good luck Amanda P, Amanda Matthews, Steve, Ali, and Shelby!). And, check out Amanda Papp's blog too - it's called SuperSourcer / Recruiter!

Alrighty then, here's a bit about the Java Developer job I mentioned...

Mosso, an early-stage startup backed by Rackspace, is passionately building The Hosting System, a revolutionary product with an extremely ambitious goal: to overturn the way just about everything is done in the hosting industry.

We are looking for a Java Developer III who is passionate about building one of the most advanced and reliable infrastructure platforms on the internet.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a team putting cutting-edge hosting concepts directly into practice, including: server clustering, virtualization, high availability databases, and centralized SAN storage.

Sound good?
