<div>Good Morning, </div>
<div>I must apologize for the mixed signals from the limited job description I sent out yesterday. Moving forward, please trust that these are viable and top-tier clients of mine, and they hire my services to find them technical experts in their respective fields. Please read on for further clarifications below. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1.) The title of the job is: Core Applications Engineer <~ This is not a Sys Admin role- It's more development with systems engineering responsibilities. </div>
<div>Notice: Web development, and Back-End Developer are near the top of the requirement. </div>
<div>Also, the role is in NYC. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>2.) To be a little more forthcoming, just over the weekend, I placed the Director of Search Infrastructure for this client, and can speak from direct experience that these people are in the next phase in turning a corner towards profitability, increase in valuation, and exploring additional, unique revenue streams. Still, their valuation is close to a Billion while they are still operating pretty lean (just about 100 employees). This is the perfect time to get into the action to gain some equity stake... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>3.) The aforementioned hot start-up is Tumblr. I'm hoping many of you have tracked its exponential growth... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>On a side note, I'm pretty blind to the skills each person specifically employs. I understand the binding fabric would be BSD Unix, but from the people I have spoken with thus far, the group is diverse in their environments and job functions. I am looking forward to the next event to take the opportunity to meet, and understand my audience. Maybe that's why I'm not hitting the right notes- just yet!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank You!</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div>Chintan Vora</div>

<div>Hi Again! </div>
<div>If you identify yourself in this role, please feel free to reach out to me for more info... I don't so much care for a resume just yet, unless if you are compelled to send it. Rather, I would love to learn more about you to see if we have a match!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is a great opportunity for a Hot Start-Up (many say the hottest on this coast). Recognized name in 'micro-blogging', well backed by VC's, already ranking top 20 world-wide in internet traffic (~ 5 Years since creation). Slated for an IPO in the foreseeable future. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Great opportunity for a competetive Base + Equity (options). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you see yourself in this role, let's talk! <br></div>
<div>To narrow it down, this requires someone from a high-traffic website or start-up, experienced in an outward facing website but to work on back-end services in helping to scale, optimize performance, and much much more while leveraging some really cool, new open source technologies. </div>
<div>Relevant Skills: Ruby, PHP, C, Expert Core Java or C++ will be considered also, complemented with a NoSQL DB, and Popular Big Data/Open Source Stacks are appealing as well. </div>
