Job openings

We are always looking for smart, passionate, motivated, and independent people regardless of where on the planet they may be. We regularly work with colleagues and clients across many time zones, as our team is spread over six countries and three continents (North America, Europe, Asia), and we are hoping to expand to all corners of the globe.
We practice flexible and human work hours, have open vacation policy, and are open to full-time, part-time, freelancing, working from home, other countries, continents and planets, exploratory work, open-source contribution, etc.
We encourage our team to write about what we do via Sematext Blog, to talk about it at conferences, meetups, SIGs, etc., to organize and attend hackathons, to create open-source and not just use it, and to use their time at Sematext to have fun, grow as individuals, and do things that help our customers and the world in general.
We also encourage everyone at Sematext to try working on different things and find what fits them the most, what provides them with the most pleasure and fun. Maybe that's working with search or maybe it's with large scale databases. Maybe after working on products one wants to try working with external clients. Maybe a developer wants to do a bit more business or vice versa. We're open to open-minded and curious people.

Opening areas

UI Design and Development

Our Search Analytics and Performance Monitoring products have massively scalable backends capable of handling huge volumes of data and requests, but could use some front end love. We are looking for a creative JavaScript developer with chops for HTML and CSS, knack for UX, and passion for creating simple, usable, intuitive user interfaces, both on the Web and on mobile devices.
The person in this role will have have a unique opportunity not only to create great products but also to set the standard for Sematext’s overall interaction design.
Interested candidates should submit a resume and screenshots or URLs showing their past work. No cover letter necessary. jobs@sematext.com

Search Consulting & Search Solutions Architect

Search is our specialty, our bread and butter Nutella. We've been working with tools like Lucene and Solr since their births, as well as with ElasticSearch since 2010. We've even written books about Lucene and Solr, not to mention our coverage of those technologies on our blog. Some of our products are specifically aimed at improving the search experience. We are looking to add more search experts to our team, both for work on internal search-related products and services, as well as to provide expert help to our customers. We tend to work remotely with customers around the world, but there is also opportunity to travel world-wide for those who want to travel.
People who will especially enjoy this position are those who like interacting with customers (email, Skype, phone), understanding customers' problems and requirements, those who like designing/architecting and developing scalable, highly available, fault tolerant systems for processing large volumes of documents and queries.
This position is also great for those who are looking for an opportunity to take their experience with search to a higher level and become Search Tech Leads or Development Managers, to build, run, and grow the core team of in-house as well as external search engineers from wherever they are on the planet.

Put more formally, a person in this role will:

Search Consulting & Tech Support

Some customers hire us as expert consultants, while others buy our Lucene & Solr Tech Support Subscriptions. When they face problems in their production Lucene or Solr deployments they call us and we quickly jump to the rescue. Providing tech support to our customers is like a box of chocolate - you never know what you are going to get. And that keeps it interesting. Plus, we get to feel like heroes every time we save the day.

People who will especially enjoy this position are those who like interacting with customers (email, Skype, phone), understanding customers' production problems, troubleshooting new problems and systems.

Data Analytics

Besides Search, we are gaining expertise in processing, storing, and analyzing large amounts of data with Hadoop, MapReduce, HBase, Flume, etc. Our own Search Analytics and Performance Monitoring products store billions of rows of data. The right candidate understands this is more than just some data - this is a goldmine! And while we are proud of our goldmine with billions of rows, some of our customers have even bigger mines - they have hundreds of TBs of data that needs to be analyzed. We are looking for people who not only get turned on by (big) data, but also know what to do with it - Data Scientists with the healthy mix of academic background and development skills.

Interested? Please send your resume to jobs@sematext.com.

Machine Learning and Data Mining

Sematext's Search Analytics and Performance Monitoring basic functionality provides all sorts of nice reports. That's great, we like it, and so do our customers - some even want to pay for it. But reports are only the beginning. By collecting this data we can do much, much more for our customers. If you have the right background and experience, we don't need to spell out what can be mined, what can be learned, where that can be applied, and what sort of applications can be built on top of this all.

Interested? Please send your resume to jobs@sematext.com.

Ops / SysAdmin

Our servers (a few dozen EC2 instances, EBS volumes, etc.) and a number of our BigAndSmallData applications (Hadoop, HBase, MySQL, Solr, our own Search Analytics and Performance Monitoring, etc.) are in need of some BigOps love. We are looking for somebody who:

You get the idea. If you're our (wo)man, let's talk!

Sales, Marketing, and Business Development

We've been in this field long enough to build a name and expertise that attracts customers from around the world to us without us having a single sales or marketing person on our team. We have a growing list of new and repeat customers (a good number of them don't allow us to list them on our customers page). We are continuously expanding and improving our experise. We've built new products that are in demand. We see interest, we have leads and opportunities for growth and now we need the focus of experienced Sales, Marketing, and Business Development professionals to use the existing channels, create new ones, establish mutually beneficial strategic partnerships, market our products and services to new customers, etc. If that's you, we'd love to talk with you.
