SwiftStack - http://swiftstack.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA (preferred)

SwiftStack is a storage company building and deploying object storage for our customers (think S3 in your own datacenter). Our product is a management controller that works with OpenStack Swift. Swift gives deployers the ability to create scalable storage pools for modern applications, and SwiftStack provides the management tools for day-to-day operation of the cluster. We charge our customers a recurring license fee for the management software based on how much storage capacity they have deployed.

SwiftStack (the company) is about 2.5 years old. We've got about 30 employees, and we're actively hiring developers. Here's a short list of some things we're currently working on:

    - New features and bugfixes in OpenStack Swift
    - Making clean, responsive UIs to simply communicate information about large storage clusters
    - Using metrics to diagnose errors and proactively fix them for customers
