Xanga is a young and exciting web community company with over 30 million users throughout the world. You can use your Xanga site to write about your day, vent about your classes, keep in touch with friends, and share photos or videos from last night's party. We're looking for a few bright and passionate individuals to help build interesting new features and scale the site (think on the order of millions of users, gigs of traffic and petabytes of storage). If you’re looking for a 9-5 cubicle job, then Xanga is probably not for you. Our office looks a lot like your dorm room, except it’s way bigger, has better stuff (we’ve each got two huge flat panel monitors and awesome pc’s loaded with games, and lots of snacks and drinks), and is located a few blocks from Times Square in New York City! It’s probably just as messy though. All the people that work here are energetic, open minded, and have great ideas, so hopefully you do too.
