SOFTWARE ENGINEERS
We arehiring full-time Software Engineers to work from our Silicon Valley Offices. We
process H1-B Visas also so that qualified engineers can relocate to Silicon
Valley regardless of where they are working currently.
Flipora was
founded by two graduate students at Stanford University, Jonathan & Vijay
to fundamentally change the way Personalized Search & Content discovery
happens today on the Web. The founders have very strong backgrounds in Web
Search, Machine Learning and Data Mining, which is core to the technology of
Flipora, and have published multiple papers in top conferences in these areas.
Jonathan received the Best Masters Thesis award at Stanford University for his
Near Duplicate Document Detection Algorithm -SpotSigs. His work at Stanford,
Yahoo! Search Ranking/Relevance & Powerset(acquired by Microsoft for $100M)
spans applications of Machine Learning & Data Mining to build better
Ranking Algorithms for Web Search leveraging cues like Context, Location,
Syntax, Semantics & Query Intent. Vijay's work at IIT Bombay, Stanford
& Yahoo's Data Mining & Research Group has spanned areas like Privacy
preserving Data Mining, Question Answering, Spam Detection, Natural Language
Processing and Large Scale Text Classification using state of the art Machine
Learning Algorithms. He holds a patent in Efficient Text Classification. If your eventual goal is to start a Technology
Company in Software, then Flipora is the BEST penultimate step towards doing
that. You will learn more about company building than you would learn at a top
MBA program or at larger companies. We expect for most of the Engineers we
hire, Infoaxe will be the last place they work at before starting out
(hopefully without needing any Angel funding ;))
