Looking For Software Engineers

I posted about our portfolio company Outside.in earlier this week. In the past month, they've closed a big new financing, secured an important strategic partnership with CNN, and they continue to ramp their hyperlocal content network, which is a top 200 internet network according to Quantcast.

The thing that makes all of this possible is a group of top notch software engineers and they are looking to hire a bunch more. This job posting explains exactly what they are looking for. But for those who need some more data before clicking on that link, here's a quick summary:

Our stack includes Ruby, Scala, C++, Javascript, Rails, Sinatra, Solr/Lucene, message queueing, and Postgres/PostGIS. We build mobile apps (iPhone, Android), Web apps, and API's. We're agile where it makes sense, but mostly sensible, intelligent, clever and hard-working. We prefer generalists who have lots of successes committing at every layer of the stack.

We want you to have one or more of the following areas of interest and real-world experience:

• Geo: Geographic data, geometric containment and mapping API's
• NLP: Passion for text analysis and semantic extraction, with a particular eye towards balancing accuracy and throughput
• Ad Serving, Monetization, Optimization and Exchanges: OpenX, DFP, Google Ad Manager, RightMedia, etc... revenue performance metrics and A/B monetization strategies

So, if that piques your interest, please click on this link and learn more. I can assure you its a great company to work for and the software engineering challenges are both interesting and problems worth solving.
