2 years ago the idea of watching live video games online was a crazy notion, now it is big business. We've just raised a new round to continue our scale (http://tcrn.ch/1dSbFH4), which will accelerate even more as we're being shipped in both the xbox one and PS4 this Christmas.
We're looking for smart and passionate engineers to help us get there. We're in the process of incrementally rebuilding our architecture to support the near 50 million MAU we have on our site for hours each and every day. We're using Go (we've found some interesting bugs because of our scale) for large chunks of our new infrastructure. We're incredibly API driven - if you understand the concept of data gravity, you're the right kind of person. If you love creating high quality products, you're the right kind of person.
If you want to know more, email me at ossareh@twitch.tv (Director of Engineering, fwiw!)
