DataSift helps you find the social conversations that you're interested in - in real-time, or from our historics archive. We are one of only three companies in the world currently licensed to resell the Twitter firehose, and across all of our sources, we handle over 6,000 new pieces of data a second. We've grown out of Tweetmeme, the inventors of the 'retweet' button. We've raised 30 million USD in funding to date. Our engineering is based in leafy Reading in the UK, with our sales and corporate HQ in San Francisco.
Like everyone else on this thread, we think we're a great place to work ;-) with an extremely low turnover of staff. But most of all, what we can offer is the opportunity to work on one of the largest and most interesting platforms of any startup here in the UK, as part of one of the highest-quality teams of any startup here in the UK.
