Sr. Web Mining / Vertical Search Engineer
Objective of Position: Find and recover product data for the long tail.
Definition of success: Built a crawling system that is able to locate and extract travel related products from tail websites with 90% precision and 70% recall.
Develop intelligent web crawlers that are capable of:
· Determining a web site is related to travel
· Identifying relevant products
· Extracting the data about those products
· Extracting positive and negative sentiments about those products
Successful candidate will have:
· Current hands on experience developing semantically intelligent crawlers
· Strong mathematical background
· Sound knowledge of NLP techniques and their benefits
· Applied knowledge of machine learning algorithms to solve classification problems
· Recent start up experience
· Research expertise
· Ability to produce production ready code
· Java expertise
Our ideal candidate would have very solid experience with web application technologies: Active Record and/or J2EE technologies including EJB, Spring, Hibernate, Web services, XML, SOAP, SAX, Ruby on Rails
It is not enough to have:
· Current hands on experience developing web crawlers
· Some knowledge of NLP or Machine learning without the mathematical understanding
· Worked only in a large company
· Worked only in a research capacity
· Be a strong system programmer within a search company
Generalist vs Specialist
· The right candidate with be a generalist with experience in multiple domains in this area. A specialist in e.g. just "structured web crawling" would not be as useful to us as someone with structured/ unstructured web crawling along with data normalization and classification.
Hands on vs Architect
· Right now we need people that can do, people who can deliver fast. The right candidate is one who is currently coding daily. Can prove this at the white board and has the breadth of experience to be able to think beyond our current implementation to the problems we are actually trying to solve. This is my mind is a "hands on architect".
Large company vs small company experience.
· Right now we are a very small company. Someone who had spent years at a large company would typically not do well in this environment even if they have domain specific knowledge. There are two key reasons.
1) The process and demands of a start up environment vs the managed and supported framework of a larger company.
2) The specialization that typically evolves in a large company. We need someone who can think outside of a small domain. Someone who has worked in both environments, very small start up and large companies (Ideally through acquisition) would be fine.
Domain specific knowledge vs technical skills
· Domain specific knowledge is much more important to us than particular language skills.
