We are working with a successful San Francisco based company that has created a virtual world online game, which has become a cultural phenomena. Our Client has had tremendous success since their launch a couple of years ago.

We are looking for an senior software / database engineer to take a very large scale single database based MMO and re-engineer both the database and the applications. This app is scaling rapidly, so our client is looking to shard the DB appropriately and re-write how the applications access data in this new distributed architecture.

Tech is:

• C++,
• some Python,
• MySQL in a RESTful context

This company is based in San Francisco but they also have Mountain View office. This is a contract for 3-6 months with a verry high probability of going full time if there is a mutual agreement between the client and the consultant.
