Cataphora is a successful, growing software and services company where each employee has a chance to make a difference for our customers, which include Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and top American law firms. We operate in a world in which what we do really matters for these organizations — our industry-leading technology and world-class services organization help our customers gain vital insight into large collections of electronic data that typically comprise millions of documents.

Cataphora is owned by its 100+ employees, not by venture capitalists or other outside investors. If you join us, you too will have the opportunity to own a piece of this pre-IPO company.

What we are looking for

You have a BS/MSCS or equivalent experience. With a strong Java/C++ background, you will have already helped test large-scale, mission-critical systems. Ideally you also have experience testing Distributed Systems and/orInformation Retrieval systems. You have a knack for finding defects and glitches, and beating the algorithm up programmatically until it’s beyond question. You are passionate about automation, quality processes and frameworks.

As we most highly value engineers who have an excellent capacity to adapt to new problems, we are strongly committed to internal education as needed, so no prior knowledge of a particular set of development tools, frameworks, or technologies is required. However, during the interview process, you will be required to demonstrate the extent of your problem-solving talents and general technical skills.

Your skills and responsibilities

• Lead different kinds of testing: functional, stress, performance
• Be comfortable handling large data sets
• Experience testing with databases
• Programming skills with languages such as C/C++ or Java
• Exceptional scripting skills with languages such as Python and Perl
• Experience with Test Automation frameworks
• Being able to work in a mixed Unix/Linux, Windows environment
• Actively participate in architectural and design decisions from a quality point-of-view
• Provide mentoring and training to junior software quality engineers
• Gather and maintain knowledge about state-of-the-art enterprise-level testing technologies, frameworks and methodologies

Desired skills

• Experience testing Distributed Systems and Information Retrieval systems a big plus
• Experience with parsing techniques
• Experience and background in search engines (such as Lucene, Fast, and MG4J) and algorithms
• Bachelor of Science in CS or equivalent experience
• Experience creating/testing/parsing diverse office document formats, including multi-byte documents

What you will get from joining our group

You will work closely with a group of international, team-dedicated individuals working in a very collaborative, intellectually stimulating environment.

You will be able to closely interact with our customers and have unique opportunities to work on an amazing number of challenging, real-world problems, all with a high degree of importance both to the company and to our clients.

We view quality as fundamental to the success of the company and care deeply about the level of involvement and the work conditions of our employees, so we don’t offshore engineering work: we only hire to bring people to our headquarters. Cataphora thus represents a perfect opportunity to learn and develop new skills as well as to share experience and knowledge with other excellent engineers.

Our perks include stock options, flexible vacation time and schedules, full health benefits, free food and drink (including catered meals), 401k plan, pet-friendy offices, recreation (pool table, ping pong), and a free fitness center.

Note: You must have U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or be able to obtain a visa with authorization to work in the United States. We will sponsor visas where appropriate.

Title:	Scientist (Linguistics, Sociology, Anthropology)
Location:	Redwood City, CA USA
Code:	ro19

Cataphora is a young, growing company, building a business whose focus is the analysis of large corpora of electronic documents, a field rich in technological and commercial opportunities. We have a core technology, a working product, and a focused team of experienced and passionate software professionals with broad expertise. Our customer base is expanding and we are profitable.

We seek individuals with outstanding skills in the analysis of multi-lingual electronic corpora. We are open in principle to a variety of training, experience, and inclination---linguistics and computational linguistics, artificial intelligence and its applications, knowledge engineering. We are especially interested in individuals comfortable with the techniques and relative merits of both symbolic and statistical approaches. We actively engage both in the development of new advances of our core technology and product line and in the application of stable technology to customer needs. In the long run, both are essential to the health of our company; but in the short run, satisfying current customers is critical to our success. Current customers are often driven by impending deadlines and stringent criteria whose violation imposes significant penalties. This lends a certain intensity to the Cataphora working environment, and concomitant opportunities to earn significant rewards (along with considerable flexibility in working hours).

If this combination of rewards and challenges attracts you and you are interested in constructing working systems with demonstrated and growing value, we want to hear from you. (It is not our policy to handle relocations; TN visas or H1 visa transfers, however, are conceivable.)

Required Skills

• Familiarity with basic search techniques and ontology development
• Background in theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence and their applications to search techniques and ontology development
• Experience, proficiency, facility in programming
• Intellectual curiosity
• Appreciation for working with great people in a promising young company

Strongly preferred (the more the better!)

• Knowledge of other major world languages (in addition to English)
• Excellent working knowledge of Java, Python, Perl
• Familiarity with large database applications
• Strong data visualization design and development skills
• Strong quantitative and verbal abilities

Note: You must have U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or be able to obtain a visa with authorization to work in the United States. We will sponsor visas where appropriate.
