================================================================  

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
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

We are looking for a battle-tested software engineer with experience in
Natural Language Processing. The ideal candidate will have experience
creatively applying clever technical tools across domains in original and
innovative ways and will want to build on our exciting patent-pending

not be committed to any linguistic or theoretical ideology (statistical vs.
symbolic, different grammar formalisms) but instead will be comfortable and
experienced with multidisciplinary work and place the highest priority on
building practical, high-performance products to put in our customer's
hands. Ideally, the candidate will be enthusiastic to take a leadership
role and drive ideas from conception to product. We are a stealth-mode
startup in Mountain View, California and we have customers, revenue, and
funding.

Qualifications:
- 8+ years commercial experience in software engineering
- Startup mentality (proactive, optimistic, flexible and willing to be
extremely hands-on)
- Experience with Internet-scale NLP applications
- Demonstrated leadership ability and strong teamwork and communication skills
- High degree of integrity, passion and drive
- MS in Computer Science or Linguistics, PhD preferred
- Natural sciences background or patent-holder desired

Compensation includes stock options and benefits include medical and
dental. Please submit resume and cover letter via email to
