<br>
I'm the founder at Retechnica, we're the makers of Ingenia, a<br>
machine-learning text analytics API (<a href="http://www.ingeniapi.com" target="_blank">www.ingeniapi.com</a>), we're a team<br>
of 6 (of which 5 technical, incl. me), we've just gone through a happy<br>
round of funding, and now we're hiring for 5 technical roles (2<br>
permanent + 3 contracts).<br>
<br>
Specifically, we're looking for a hands-on lead developer: someone who<br>
codes well, and can also understands where the company is going, can<br>
translate high-level product specs into effective implementation, gets<br>
the trade-off between moving too fast and too slow, can help with<br>
leading and coaching the team and with hiring.<br>
Stack is: Ruby, Rails, Redis, Memcache, AMQP, Apache, Linode, Postgres<br>
(but looking at Hadoop / Hypertable). It's a service-oriented<br>
architecture and we like TDD and pairing etc.<br>

<br>
About us: much to my surprise, it looks we're on to something good.<br>
Ingenia categorises content in a way that is bespoke to each user, all<br>
automatically. Built on top of it, we have a<br>
recommendation/personalisation/summarisation engine.<br>
We're getting good traction, expecting to grow (at least) threefold in<br>
valuation by the end of the year. We're working with well known big<br>
companies that use us to understand what their content is about (e.g.,<br>
"what do people like/dislike about our products") or create new user<br>
experiences (e.g., "how do we get people to find what matters to them<br>
faster"). It's a complex, genuinely innovative product, and we need<br>
smarts and creativity and a healthy dose of GTD.<br>
We pay competitive rates, flexible with hours, and stock options are available.<br>
<br>
If you're interested or have any questions, let's have an initial<br>
chat, and then let's work together for a bit - depending on your<br>
availability, an afternoon if you're full-time employed, or a week if<br>
you're available or a freelancer - in either case, it'd be paid at<br>
market rates.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Marco<br>
<br>
PS: other open roles are: machine-learning expert (permanent),<br>
Postgres+Ruby/Rails person, also on the jobs page. We'll add to it two<br>
other contracting roles: front end (Rails+JS+JQuery) and tech ops<br>
(Linux, Apache, Salt/Puppet/Chef, Linode). If you're interested in any<br>
of these other roles, please shout.<br>
PPS: if you have a product idea that can use Ingenia, get in touch. We<br>
like that very much.<br>
