About Us

At first simply called Lucene Consulting, Sematext was the first commercial entity initially exclusively focused on providing services around Lucene since 2005 and Solr since 2006.

Sematext was founded by Otis Gospodnetić, a Lucene and Solr expert, co-author of Lucene in Action (1st and 2nd edition), and an active member of Lucene, Solr, Nutch, and Mahout development teams. Under Otis' leadership, our developers have become expert consultants and developers in core open-source search technologies, such as Lucene, Solr, Nutch, as well as Hadoop, a distributed computing platform.

We provide consulting and development services to our growing list of clients - small and large businesses from around the world. Our products are modular, scalable, and whenever possible, designed to work with any search vendor solution, not just Lucene, Solr, or Nutch.

Sematext is entirely owned by its founders and employees. The company has been profitable and cash flow positive since day one without ever taking on debt or external funding. Over time we have established presence in North America and Europe, which allows us to easily serve clients in different timezones - Sematext has clients in North & South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

We are looking for good people!
