I would be interested in hearing more about the system you installed, if you don't mind sharing. I'll probably be taking the plunge in a year or two.

Sonian - Search Engineer - Boston, MA or REMOTE

On our team, you’ll get to:

- Help design and develop this platform and its component services, using technologies like Clojure, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Pedestal, and Datomic

- Spearhead new indexing designs and approaches for greater speed and efficiency of searches, lower cost, and greater ability to meet customer demand for new archive capabilities

- Contribute features and bug fixes to Elasticsearch and plugins, or to other software systems

- Work closely with developers who build the applications that turn our platform into powerful tools for users and partners, and with the support organization that keeps it humming

- Be on a team that values code quality, good communication tools, a carefully polished remote pairing experience, sound testing practices and diverse opportunities for mentoring

We ask only that you:

- Be well-versed in Elasticsearch, Lucene, and Java

- Be excited about functional programming, especially with Clojure

- Communicate well, in your code, documentation, and in chats and conversations with others

- Want to build well-designed, scalable, decoupled, performant services with APIs that are a pleasure to use

You might also:

- Have some experience already with Clojure, Datomic, Chef, or AWS

- Be versed in text analytics, machine learning, or other studies around content enrichment

To apply please send a cover letter and your resume to jobs@sonian.net. Use subject line "Software Engineer – Search".

We could make them all read "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut. :)

That's the subject of the whole novel, and it's a really great one.
