      Mobify - Vancouver, BC

      We think that the web should be fast, beautiful and accessible on every screen. Today that means making the web better on desktops, phones and tablets. Tomorrow it will mean Google Glass, smart TVs, and a host of other web-enabled devices.

      We have tons of positions open - some of the most pressing are Front-end Engineer/Designer, HR Manager, Talent Acquisition Manager, and Product Manager. Some of the products we work on:

      - Performance analysis tools written in Python and Postgresql, collecting data for billions of users and aggregating that data to improve the performance of responsive sites.

      - Performance improvement tools, written in JavaScript on the client-side, and powered by many different backend services (image resizing, JS minification, etc) powered by Python and Node.js.

      - Cloud based application that allows you to manage your projects and create amazing mobile/tablet experiences, and that provide an entry point into our performance tools. Written in Django and Backbone.

      - We do a ton of open source - Mobify.js (http://www.mobify.com/mobifyjs/) and our UI modules (http://mobify.github.io/).

      We are one of the fastest growing startups in Canada, doubling in size every year. Check out our jobs page for more info:

      Wonder how this ties in with the recent discussion over Data URI slowness on mobile [1] [2].

      I have to admit I've not read all the articles in full so the question may have been answered. I see Pete did write in a comment to [1] "I haven't tried data URId fonts or SVGs but those are great ideas for follow on tests"

      [1] http://www.mobify.com/blog/data-uris-are-slow-on-mobile/

      [2] http://www.mobify.com/blog/base64-does-not-impact-data-uri-performance/

      Domain sharding almost never makes any sense, especially on mobile, and with HTTP2 it's working against you.
