Swiftype is building search software for the next generation of websites and applications, and we're looking for great engineers to help us build out our infrastructure and product line. We're a small team of highly technical, product-focused engineers with extensive search experience. As a small team, we're looking for early engineers who are self-motivated, resourceful, and enjoy the accountability that is expected from early-stage team members. We launched in May 2012, are very well-funded, and are growing very quickly.

Qualifications (the more the better):

+ Experience with open source Search software, especially Lucene/ElasticSearch/Solr.

+ Experience with Ruby.

+ Experience with Scala and/or Go.

+ Familiarity with web crawling and information extraction.

+ Familiarity with the full web application stack (from CSS to Rack).

+ Familiarity with developer-facing APIs (standards, protocols, testing, etc.).

+ Familiarity with server operations and administration.

+ Practical experience with information retrieval algorithms.

What we offer:

+ A chance to work on some of the most interesting problems on the web, while building a product that serves a pervasive need.

+ A chance to push production code that reaches 10s of millions of users every day.

+ We don't ship junk, our codebase is not a mess, and we use the right technologies for the job. You will be joining a team of experienced engineers who get a lot done.

+ Competitive salary and significant equity stake.

+ A beautiful, quiet office space in San Francisco.

+ Health and dental benefits.

+ Free lunch as a team every day.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you. Please include whatever info you believe is relevant: resume, github profile, code samples, links to personal projects, etc.
