[John Cohen]

My name is John Cohen, I work for Amazon now but back in 2009-2012 I was working for Nokia developing VShards on top of Voldemort.  I did contribute to the Voldemort project in the Rebalancing area (I also submitted 2 patents about the work that I did with the US patent office).

I live in Boston, if there is a chance to work form here please let me know,

thanks,

Hi John,

Thank you for being interested in this position. Because one of the important responsibilities of this position is to engage LinkedIn's app engineers and help them design their app to correctly use Voldemort, being remote will make it very difficult. I am happy to discuss it with you in more details if you are willing to relocate to the bay area :)

Thanks,

Lei
