Joyent manages every operational component of a large architecture: systems, routers, switches, load balancers, anti-spam devices, and storage.
We’re looking for junior systems administrators to learn what it is to manage large systems, to help support customers on this infrastructure, to assist with various systems migrations and to assist with the deployment, health and maintenance of Joyent’s applications. There’s a longer description on joyent.com.
We’re also doing an alarming amount of Scale Consulting and I’m looking to expand that team out more. The requirements are much the same as the sysadmin positions but if you’re a bit more bent towards applications and have experience with deploying applications written in java, php, erlang, python or ruby, and turn out to be a master with MySQL, PostgreSQL or Oracle, then well … that would be great.
You’ll get to work with some fun systems people (for example, myself, Ben and Mark)
I get the virtual thing, we’ve been doing it for years now but being in the Bay Area is an advantage.
If you’re interested please send your information to jason at joyent dot com.

best joyeur blog post yet.
congrats to all of Joyent on being successful enough to be able to hire more team members.
Jason,
I hope you get the new guys onboard soon. I’m still waiting for my container!
@Joel
It looks like Joyent is now accepting pre-orders for Accelerators.

Notice the note at the bottom under the Small and Medium plans.
Nick,
Are you saying these won’t be available for a while? The reason I ask is that I paid for a year since on March 7 David Young was pleased to announce availability of the Small accelerator. See http://joyeur.com/2007/03/06/accelerators-now-start-at-us45
Would someone kindly email me at joelr1 at gmail to clear up the confusion? I need to bring a site up yesterday!
Thanks, Joel
@Joel: we went with a storage solution for the small and medium Accelerators that was supposed to be shipped to us three weeks ago. We’ve been told that the storage was going to be here a few times…and it never happened. We’re expecting to pick up the storage tomorrow and begin delivering the Accelerators Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
No customers have been or will be charged until we deliver the Accelerators.

StoreVault?http://www.storevault.com/
@David Besonen
Why would they use StoreVault when they praise the SUN Thumper (X4500) so much, and we already know they have a few.

I would just assume that it was another thumper they ordered.
They’re not strorevaults.
So… are they thumpers?
