Most websites have terrible site search. Founded by the engineers who built Scribd’s search, Swiftype (<a href="http://swiftype.com" rel="nofollow">http://swiftype.com</a>) is fixing that by offering a dead-simple modern search for sites ranging from your sister’s Tumblr to Alexa Top 100 behemoths. Swiftype’s usage is growing quickly, so we need to expand our team.<p>What we have:<p>An API and dashboard built with Rails 3, Rails Metal, MongoDB, Redis and Lucene<p>A high performance crawler capable of spidering millions of pages per hour<p>An easy-to-install search box with modern features like autocomplete<p>Search analytics and results re-ordering<p>An intelligent page-content analysis system for parsing websites automatically<p>Client libraries for Ruby, Python, PHP and jQuery<p>Horizontally scalable infrastructure<p>A lot of happy customers<p>What we need to do:<p>Completely automate provisioning for our search clusters<p>Scale our backend from thousands of requests/second to millions<p>Bulletproof failover across multiple datacenters<p>Build payment processing for our API and integrate with platform partners like Heroku<p>Create API wrappers for more languages and plugins for popular CMSes and ecommerce platforms<p>Improve our crawler performance and concurrency (Will it be JRuby, Go, Scala, Clojure or
something else? -- you’ll help decide)<p>Write awesome documentation, tutorials and sample apps so integration is super simple<p>Sound interesting? We want to hear from you. We are a small team (all engineers) so we are looking for engineers who can contribute across the full stack from the crawler to the CSS and JavaScript.<p>As a small but well-funded company we can offer you a competitive salary and significant equity stake, health and dental benefits, and lunch as a team every day.
