Most websites have terrible site search. Founded by the engineers who built Scribd’s search, Swiftype (<a href="https://swiftype.com" rel="nofollow">https://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. We've already fixed search on over 80,000 websites with 150M queries per month – come help us grow even further.<p>What we have:<p>An API and dashboard built with Rails 3, Rails Metal, MySQL, Hive, 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 and spelling correction<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 JavaScript<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 out integrations 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 sample apps, documentation, and tutorials 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 (a16z, NEA, KPCB) company we can offer you a competitive salary and significant equity stake, health and dental benefits, and lunch as a team every day.
