Trovix.com needs a search hacker
If you're not familiar with Trovix, we developed a conceptual/contextual search engine that we used to help match jobs and resumes to each other. Employer trying to find the perfect fit for a job? Just give us the job description and we'll find that person. Job-seeker looking for the perfect job? Upload your resume and we'll figure out which ones suit you automagically.
Even with this great technology, we're still looking for another perfect engineer for the team, and given the amazing people at Hacker News I wanted to see if anyone out there was interested in a position here.
Experience isn't an issue. We need someone who can pick things up quickly and is driven to figure stuff out. Ideally you'll have a computer science degree or similar. We're located in the Bay Area (across the road from Google, in Mountain View -- Mozilla is just downstairs from our games room).
The job will be all about putting our search engine through the wringer. This includes figuring out how to improve and maintain the quality of results, how to get the most performance out of it, and how to test its stability and scalability. What can we do to improve it? How do we track this in the future? This is a fairly open-ended role and the scope of your contribution will be what you make it.
The most exciting part is working on the core technology being integrated into Monster's job and resume matching. The challenges in scaling and adapting this are huge. You'll be working in a startup environment (we are still in our old offices with the same team as at acquisition) but with the benefits of working for a big company. It's a great team here, with nice benefits (21 days PTO per year for example) and competitive salary.
