Our client is home to a new type of search that makes it easy to find
subjective information. Starting in early 2008 the company raised seed
financing from a number of premier angel investors and carefully grew
a high-caliber engineering team. Today, the company includes founders
from more than a half-dozen successful startups, including Google,
four AI Ph.D.s, and engineers from Silicon Valley's major technology
companies.

The Engineering Lead is a careful implementer who is curious about how
things work. S/he leans on large levers to get more done, faster, and
enjoys applying new tools to the new opportunities afforded by today's
web. S/he endeavors to solve real-world problems for real people
(including the rest of the company), and isn't afraid to think big.
They are looking for a strong engineering lead with impeccable
technical chops and a willingness to manage a growing team.

General requirements:

* Graduate degree or PhD preferably in CS or closely related field,
from a leading institution
* 5+ years of solid individual contributions to significant,
interesting, new, or important projects
* 5+ years of leadership experience in leading both technical teams
and managing engineering organizations. Their ideal candidate has both
because on the software engineering side they will likely transition
from individual contributor to team leader to organization manager
* Startup experience: at least one (preferably more) significant
startup company / project experiences building an organization and
wearing the many planning, mentoring, nurturing, and envisioning hats
that are necessary at the early stage
* Proven experience related to what we're doing: search engines,
information retrieval, web servers, distributed systems, social
networking, consumer web properties, large-scale IM networks
* Excited to come in as an individual contributor and grow into the
leadership role as the company matures
* Very technical, down-to-earth, and not title-hungry
* Some web experience required (scripting, widgets, browsers, web
servers, etc)
* Affinity for rapid prototyping
* Flexibility when faced with complex challenges
* Expert Rails experience required
