Job Description

Forbes recently asked: is The Dots ‘The Next LinkedIn?”. This is because we look after an amazing community of creators, freelancers and entrepreneurs. A community who put purpose over paycheck, have creativity at the heart of what they do and believe in making the world a better place.

We have a challenge for a best in class engineer/database architect with an understanding of complex relational data and architectural design, to improve or replace our existing search solution.

This is a short term project to step into our team and to take our current search architecture and turn it into a world class solution that will form the bedrock of our platform and be used by millions of our users and clients into the future.

We’re looking forward to working with someone who can:

Work autonomously towards delivering the most effective solution
Self motivate and deliver a complete solution on time
Is comfortable collaborating with product and engineering teams

Skills and personality-wise we are looking for someone who:

Can demonstrate a deep understanding of open source search engine solutions (e.g. Elasticsearch, Solr, or similar).
Is open to try out new technologies and solutions, do research and make informed decisions
Wants to experiment with custom scoring algorithms that depend on multiple data types (including social graph)
Has experience in PHP (preferred).
Demonstrates impeccable communication skills and abilities to collaborate with major stakeholders throughout the project

We are looking for the best in the business and in return you'll receive a generous day rate.

You’ll be working on a contract basis from The Dots home; a beautiful loft coworking space called Protein Studios in Shoreditch, London.

We pride ourselves on being a happy and productive team, who focus on solutions not problems. If you're one of those people, we’d love you to apply for the role.
