Acquia Cloud is seeking software engineers to help extend its cloud platform offering into the commerce space, focused on Magento hosting. Acquia Cloud is a enterprise grade Platform as a Service (PaaS) hosted entirely on Amazon Web Services and is made up of many distributed systems and cluster computing technologies.
