Description:

Oracle is hiring Software Engineers with experience in NLP development and
advanced scripting and object-oriented programming skills to automate language
resource creation and build toolsets for the Oracle RightNow Virtual Assistant
product (voice-enabled question/answer).  This role is a full-time position
(40 hours/week) and will be based in Bucharest, with occasional travel to
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where the alpha team is located.

The Oracle RightNow Virtual Assistant delivers contextual, interactive
engagements that draw from relevant information and result in rich, seamless
interactions that build trust and loyalty. More opportunities are generated
because Virtual Assistant moves beyond answering questions by understanding
customer intent to provide deeper engagements not typically associated with
self-service.

We are seeking high energy individuals with leadership skills, who are
motivated by teamwork, and thrive on articulating solutions within a group
context. You are 100% solutions-oriented, and interested in driving process
and pushing deliverables across multiple functional areas, actively building
relationships with key stakeholders across projects.  We operate across time
zones in a flexible work environment, so your flexibility is key to your
success in this role. If teamwork, energy and a passion for driving
efficiencies through automation define who you are and how you work, we want
to hear from you!

Desired Profile:
1. Demonstrated experience automating language resource creation (grammars,
dictionaries, ontologies)
2. Significant experience developing tools and process for automatic named
entity recognition
3. Significant experience in industrial R&D
4. Team player with proven skills around triaging issues and problem solving
with key stakeholders across multiple projects
5. Proven track record in NLP development
6. Demonstrated experience as a technical lead (line management experience is
ideal) for a team of NLP developers or engineers developing for product lines
informed by NLP technologies.

Skills:
1. Native or near-native English
2. Advanced  skills in common scripting languages (python, perl) 
3. Object oriented programming (java, C++)
Nice to have:
4. Background in Speech technologies
5. Interest or experience in the mobile space
6. Advanced proficiency in one or more of the non-Latin 1 languages (Eastern
European, CJK. Semitic)
7. Agile Scrum experience
