Scaling!

Our company has been growing at a pretty good clip for the past 3 years and every day we have to process more and more data. I love all the challenges that come with that from making the site faster to ensuring that our datastores are all working optimally. There are a lot of hard problems that scaling presents and I thoroughly enjoy tackling them all.

On top of that, the rate at which we can process data is above and beyond anything else in the industry and hearing the excitement that brings clients is pretty cool. We play a really big part in making our client's jobs easier and that makes it all feel worth it.

That’s awesome. Scaling is definitely one of those interesting problems that provides a huge payoff and sense of accomplishment once solved (or can it ever truely be solved? :) ).
