The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international

Description:

C++ Developer / Computational Linguist

As a C++ Developer / Computational Linguist at Q-go, you are working in a
team developing Q-go's core technology: the Natural Language Match Engine.
Your job will be maintaining the current code base and implementing new
functionality with a close eye on performance and scalability as well as
quality and testability.

The Natural Language Match Engine is released together with other parts of
Q-go's suite in a quarterly cycle. Consequently, you will work closely with
other C++ and PHP developers, but also with Q-go's Linguists and Researchers.

We expect you to be an active and critical team member. We greatly
appreciate that developers take initiative in the functional development of
our products.

Technology
Q-go's core technology is implemented in C++ using STL and Boost libraries.
Linux is used as a main development environment with shell scripts for
automated building, integration and testing.

Culture
The culture within Q-go is young, open and informal. We are working hard
and results matter. Taking responsibility is important. Q-go is ambitious
('we are going to conquer the world!') and optimistic ('The bottle is half
full!'). Not just thinking, but making it happen!

Knowledge & Experience

    * Academic education in information science or related field
    * At least 5 years experience in the C/C++ work field
    * Experience in developing large (preferably web-based) software systems
    * At least 2 years experience with Linux/Unix, including scripting
(Python/Bash/Perl/Ruby)
    * Affinity with Test-Driven Development

Skills

    * Independent, creative and result oriented
    * Good communication skills in English required; fluency in Dutch
preferred but not required.
    * Experience in the computational linguistic work field is a plus
