If you are all about crafting the ultimate experience, or if you like to talk about design patterns and philosophies, or have an unending curiousity of how to improve design and learn more about it, we want to talk to you.
The creative team at Fwix performs a variety of tasks ranging from web design, to app design, to print design.
Here are some more specifics on the responsibilities:
The ideal candidate has:
Fwix is organizing the web by location. We are developing geotagging technology to automatically identify physical locations referenced in online content. Is your blog talking about Starbucks? Which one? The one in Paris, TX or Paris, France? Who else is talking about THAT Paris? Oh, and Joe Montana - not a place. Now mix in the physical world - businesses, structures, neighborhoods, polygons, latitude, longitude...
This is a very hard, and very fun problem to solve! If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t be working on it.
We are looking for people who can apply rigourous jobs to pull apart a problem, organize and identify issues, and come up with creative solutions to solve them. Our problems range from NLP issues (entity extraction, summarization, search, sorting) to being solved with machine learning (training data, models, local features, genetic algorithms).
You'll be given a datastore of hundreds of millions of pieces of content to work with, and you'll be tasked at using your ingenuity to create ways to structure unstructured data and pull out relevant and related information to our 60 million+ place database - and then bring it to life for Fwix's and our partners' millions of users.
The ideal candidate has:
Your disclosure will be to help create interesting applications for our users on mobile devices, using location data in ways that haven't been done before. We have a couple of iPhone and android apps already in the wild. You'll help us support our past projects, but spend most of your time working directly with our designers to develop new ones. We have a list of ideas we want to see come to life, and maybe you do too!
The ideal candidate has:
Your job will be working across the Fwix system, APIs, partners, web site, database search, and everything else we can think of. We have a constantly growing system that needs to be real time and scalable, while slicing and dicing data in ad-hoc ways. You'll help us figure out how to do that. Our system is python, with some java and C/C++ thrown in. We use MySQL, Gearman, Sphinx, Membase, Memcache. We've used Redis, Rethinkdb, Cassandra. We are thinking about using Mongodb, Elastic Search, Rabbitmq. Come help us work on large and interesting problems!
