Revolutions are driven by power shifts. The search revolution is a power shift from publishers to consumers. Why is search really the key technology to give the control back to consumers? Well – search is all about understanding users/intent and applying this knowledge to create more effective; more contextual; more algorithmic user experiences. One the content side – search technology must be able to read massive amounts of data, explore databases, understand meaning in text and extract searchable concepts from videos. The core of a search engine is to be the broker between the consumer and the often daunting information explosion on the content side. How is it possible to break the content down into high-value, “atomic” information pieces and then in an algorithmic conversation with the user re-assemble these information units into a contextually relevant information experience?
At ESG, you will work with a large and global team passionate about these challenges and opportunities. So what is your passion? If you want to make a breakthrough in UX – we believe search has the power to do just that. Search can drive information experiences far outside the “search box” and become a unifying layer for a more dynamic and contextual UX. If you want to impact business outcomes – search has already proved to transform online business efficiency. Search is the link between a user and a product to buy, an article to read, an ad to explore or a friend to collaborate with. If you want to push the envelope for scalable enterprise software and cloud infrastructures – search is sitting on some of the biggest problems out there. 1000s of queries per second must be answered in milliseconds by carefully separating value from noise across billions of documents.
At the end – it is all about shipping software. Shipping software that is loved by users, transforms business and adopted by 100s of millions. At ESG you will have the opportunity to do just that. Coding excellence, algorithmic smartness, architecture soundness and software quality are all dear to our hearts. We hope you can add to our skills in these areas and join us in working with the most demanding search customers around the world!
