Twitter is hiring for systems, frontend, etc. We're pretty polyglot but the majority of integration with the web app is ruby, a good deal of the backend is Scala and the rest is whatever works best.
Okay, really, I want you to apply for Systems. We're building horizontally scalable, distributed, big data systems that can take unprecedented growth. The company is only a 134 people right now, and your impact as a developer would be huge.
Sounds interesting. I'll apply. (I'm a new grad from Case Western, and I'm really good at learning languages and systems I don't know quickly, and I have at least a passing familiarity with tons of topics.) I am curious though: the requirements mention "deep knowledge of a compiled language". What part? The language, the compiler, the libraries, the generated code, or something else? I've got the first two in spades for C (and Objective-C, but somehow I doubt you're using that much) and can figure out most anything about the third and fourth in a few minutes with the right book or Google query.
