About Us

Senior Search Engineer

We are looking for an extremely capable individual who has a strong background in back-end systems development and who has either experience with or strong interest in search technology. Technologies we are using: Linux, Java, Lucene (index design, creation, search optimization), REST, XML, Linux, RSS aggregation, BDB, MySQL.

A strong software architecture background is required, as our infrastructure has strict availability, performance and result quality requirements. Scalability is a key issue for us, so demonstrated experience in a clustered server environment will be highly regarded. You should have a minimum of 5 years of experience in software engineering, good development practices, and a relevant degree.

In addition to your strong back-end development skills, you have a theoretical and practical background in search technology (Lucene experience a plus), and, ideally, experience with high update rates and/or low fetch-to-serve turnarounds. You are familiar with a variety of search relevancy measures and are able to develop new and/or hybrid measures tailored to specific business requirements. Experience with content analysis and link/graph analysis to generate meta-data useful to the search engine will be extremely useful. If you don’t have specific Lucene experience, then you are excited to learn something new and a proven ability to dig into and master new things. You will be working on a real-time search engine that is used by millions of people worldwide. This is unique opportunity to learn and contribute to something truly different.

Requirements:

• Exceptional software design and programming skills
• 5+ years of experience in software or algorithm design, preferably in the areas of search or distributed systems.
• Strong foundation in distributed system architecture and development
• Direct experience with large-scale search systems is desirable
