Apache Mesos co-creator and former Twitter lead engineer Benjamin Hindman is joining the startup Mesosphere, which provides commercial backing for the open-source Mesos resource management system.

Twitter, Airbnb, PayPal and Netflix are all companies that use Mesos to help manage their infrastructure. In June, Mesosphere announced a $10.5 million series A round.
