Sematext is 100% engineers and there are about 10 of us now. In addition to being on a lookout for our Head of Marketing, we are looking for solid search engineers who love Solr and/or Elasticsearch, who want to use their search skills to work with our growing list of international clients, and who want to join our awesome, super distributed engineering team.
Together, we’ve built several exciting products – from smaller, search-focused products that work with Solr and Elasticsearch, to larger ones like SPM, Search Analytics, and most recently Logsene. While not building products and running services, we help organizations world-wide with their search and big data needs – from fixing issues and providing production support to building complex search systems from scratch. Our client list is long with a number of household names on it – from Instagram (Facebook) and Tumblr (Yahoo), Etsy and Shutterstock, to The BBC, Elsevier, Lockheed Martin, Reuters, Library of Congress, etc. We did this without raising any money. To date, virtually all of our business came to us without us doing much real marketing – fama volat in action. The demand for our products and services is growing and we are looking for good engineers and good people to join our adventure!
