AppNeta provides a SaaS platform for monitoring application performance. We get to make software for people like us (engineers), that focuses on optimization and performance, by analyzing and visualizing huge amounts of data.
It's a lot of fun--and our customers (some of whom are on this thread) love it too.
We're growing quickly which means there are a number of openings right now in development, QA, engineering management, technical support, and technical sales: http://www.appneta.com/about/careers/

Excellent news.
We, AppNeta, use PhantomJS to perform Synthetic web-app monitoring
http://www.appneta.com/products/appview/
While PhantomJS has some limitation here and there, it is the _only_ headless browser our there AFAIK.
Disclaimer: I work for AppNeta (specifically for the AppView product).

I now install AppNeta TraceView [0] whenever I launch a site. The free plan is fine for initial profiling and it's useful to see what matters under a production load. And the paid plan has proved itself.
NewRelic is similar, but I find the TraceView interface much much better.

## AppNeta - Providence, RI and Boston, MA
## application performance monitoring startup seeks engineers interested
## in making the web faster
##
AppNeta is an application performance company that strives to elegantly answer questions about performance that developers and users face each day. We make TraceView, which enables distributed tracing (like X-Trace, Google Dapper, or Twitter Zipkin) for all major web servers, frameworks, languages, and browsers, and provide a service that collects and analyzes that data to provide beautiful charts, graphs, heatmaps, and request detail that help our customers better understand their application performance in real time.
We are currently looking for full-stack and backend-focused engineers who are interested in building innovative performance tools and helping us scale to meet our ever-increasing faucet of customer traffic -- we currently process tens of thousands of events per second. Our frontend is built with D3.js and Angular, and our backend is almost entirely Python, a bit of C++, MySQL, RabbitMQ, EC2, DynamoDB, Google BigQuery, S3, SQS, Hadoop, Celery, SQLAlchemy, etc.
We sit atop mountains of data and strive to provide intelligent, actionable insights for our customers about the performance of their app's code & servers. Processing & visualizing it all at scale is a big challenge, and we’re looking for talented engineers to help us. We're especially interested in engineers with experience dealing…
