We are an engineering company with a flat hierarchy and will remain engineering focused. Everyone in our company is hands on, including CEO. We are looking for hands on people to join our product team and management team. Once again I would like to stress the importance of being hands on and the appreciation for engineering.
We care more about drive and passion and past achievements as opposed to big names on candidates resume.
We have a sweet spot for entrepreneurial candidates who have taken risks to follow their dreams, independent of the outcome.
We love people who have an intense curiosity and a hunger to learn, who constantly work on improving themselves beyond their work requirements.
2. Product Manager/Game producers
Note: All our Product managers are hands on engineers; they lead by example not by management. If you are looking for a pure management job, this is not the right fit.

Below are the skills that we use day to day & thus are desired. We don’t expect the person coming in to have a hands-on experience on all of these but the more of these you know the best. The fresher will get a waiver here: they might not be knowing most of these but they should have good command on the languages & concepts they have used in the projects they have done till now in their college & in their internships – which we expect should be web based; preferably in the social domain:

About Oxylabs
Oxylabs is the largest Social gaming company based out of India. The company was formed in January 2008. We are not a services company. We build our own games and are very proud of them. Within 16 short months we have grown our user base to 20M and currently growing at 60K new installs a day.
We were told that we cannot build a company in India that can created high quality social games for the world. We are glad we had the opportunity to prove people wrong. We have gained the respect of every single portal we have launched our games in. We are proud to say that we are 100% employee owned and have been profitable for over a year. Our revenue numbers and growth may surprise you, however we have lot of room to grow.
To give you a perspective, Social gaming industry is estimating to be over $10B/ year by 2012. Our competitors are doing more than $100M/ year in revenue.
We are building towards our vision of creating a gaming platform that enables users to play games with their friends across devices ( browsers, sms, mms, IM clients, desktop apps , etc ) and across multiple networks ( social networks, twitter, youtube, flickr, etc ..) .
We are a true garage mode startup, young , passionate and have intense pride of ownership. We are far from perfect, we are process light, chaotic much like any product oriented startup. We grow because we focus on creating solutions for the challenges we have.
Challenges we work on
Understanding our user base: Social norms in their country, cultural values, what works what doesn’t work for users from different countries.
We live and breathe analytics and number: We monitor everything, We slice and dice our data by app, by portal, by country, by the hour. We use data to understand our users, their needs, their likes and dislikes across the globe.
Our data helps us design new features, evolve UI, evolve our usage, viral, retention, monetization loops. We AB test everything, every single app we have has been iterated upon several 100 times and we keep tweaking it to best fit our user needs.
On the back end infra structure we work on challenges like: how do we efficiently serve 50M page views a day, how do we scale databases to handle over 5000 queries per second. We experiment with cutting edge technologies : Cloud computing ( Google app engine, EC2) , distributed object stores ( Memcached, Tokyo Tyrant, Voldermort) , Map reduce, non conventional databases, proxies, CDNS, Client side rendering through JavaScript templating, single sign on, cross portal, cross device game play.
