Do you have what it takes to build and operate a world-class search engine that serves 350 million plus queries a day? Do you thrive on developing efficient data retrieval algorithms that process Gigabytes of data in milliseconds? We are passionate about building the best search platform for the world’s largest online marketplace and are looking for top-notch software engineers.
· Define, architect and implement complex high-performance software applications in Search/Information retrieval domain using C++ on Solaris platform.
· Collaborate with architects, engineers, QA and Operations teams to architect and develop strategic and tactical solutions in the search domain.
· Lead and estimate engineering effort, plan implementations, and rollout for complex search applications with implications to cross-functional teams.
· Must be able to independently design, code and test major features, as well as work jointly with other team members to deliver complex applications.
· Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other team members. Implement proof-of-concept prototypes for complex infrastructure design.
We are currently building a new search engine in addition to simultaneously enhancing the current one in production.
