+I've worked for nearly four years at
+[[http://linkfluence.net/][Linkfluence]]. From this summer on, I'm
+switching to a new job at [[http://saymedia.com/][Say Media]], San
+Francisco.
+
+Working at Linkfluence has been an awesome experience for me. I've
+learned a lot of things, worked on really interesting projects, and
+worked with an awesome team.
+
+** Linkfluence is hiring
+
+Linkfluence is always looking for developers to join the team. If you
+want a Perl job in France, and want to work on interesting topics such
+as:
+
+- social media monitoring
+- web crawling
+- data indexation
+- data visualization
+
+Linkfluence is the company you want to join. If you're interested, send
+your CV to Camille Maussang (CTO at Linkfluence): camille.maussang at
+linkfluence.net.
+
+*** Technologies at Linkfluence
+
+We're typically using the following technologies to solve our various
+problems:
+
+- Solr and ElasticSearch to index the contents of various social media
+ (blogs, tweeter, etc)
+- [[http://labs.linkfluence.net/nosql/2011/03/07/moving_from_couchdb_to_riak.html][Riak]]
+ to store the contents
+- a *lot* of Perl (and not the Perl of your (dear) grandmother, but
+ Catalyst, Moose, DBIx::Class, Dancer, perl-5.12, ...)
+- Redis
+- PostgreSQL
+- [[http://gephi.org/][Gephi]]
+
+*** Open Source at Linkfluence
+
+Developers here are encouraged to contribute to open source projects, to
+publish code on GitHub, and talk about the things they do.
+
+The company also sends the developers to various open source
+conferences:
+
+- YAPC::Europe
+- FOSDEM
+- Belgium Perl Workshop
+- French Perl Workshop
+- OSDC.fr
+
+You're encouraged to talk at those conferences, and you can prepare your
+talks during work time. Linkfluence is also working closely with the
+French Perl Mongueurs, and tries to organize events with them (technical
+meetings, Dancer hackaton, etc).
+
+*** Science at Linkfluence
+
+Most of the developers in the company are coming from a scientific
+background (but this is not a requirement). Some of them do publish
+scientific papers on topics like social media and graphs analysis.

+ globale et diversité globale dans la dynamique des commentaires de
+ Flickr]] (Raux, Prieur, 2011)
+- [[http://www.icwsm.org/2011/index.php][Describing the Web in less
+ than 140 characters]] (Raux, Grunwald, Prieur, 2011)
+- Essai de géographie de la blogosphère politique française (Cardon,
+ Fouetillou, Lerondeau, Prieur 2011)
+- [[http://www.icwsm.org/2011/index.php][Two paths of glory -
+ Structural positions and trajectories of websites within their
+ topical territory]] (Cardon, Fouetillou, Roth 2011)
+- [[http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0167865510000413][Clustering
+ based on random graph model embedding vertex features]] (Zanghi,
+ Volant, Ambroise)
+- [[http://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/annexes/franck.../SSB-RR-14-online-estimation.pdf][Strategies
+ for Online Inference of Network Mixture]] (Zanghi, Picard, Miele,
+ Ambroise)
+- Approches modèles pour la structuration du Web vu comme un graphe
+ (Zanghi)
+
+If you want to work with smart people on interesting topics like graphs,
+and help them to implement solutions or experiment with some algorithm,
+you'll feel at home there.
+
+** My future
+
+I'll move to San Francisco this summer to start my new job at Say. I
+have a lot to do before moving, but I'm very excited with this new
+opportunity. Sadly, I'll probably miss YAPC::EU, but I should do
+YAPC::NA next year \o/.
