Research Scientist - Search Engine Technology in Irvine

Thu, 23 May 2013 01:54:47 GMT

The Relevance Measurement team has played a key role in where we are now and will continue to be influential in all future Local.com endeavors. Relevance measurement is the foundation of our search engine, without it no one can tell whether a change has made the system better or worse. Measuring search engine quality is a very active research area and we are developing new, better metrics. We have many consumers of our data - from people comparing our performance against competitors to developers working on the next generation of search technologies.

We are looking for an expert in metrics - ideally in a search relevance context - to be a key driver in improving existing forms of measurement as well as new, innovative methods.

We're looking for individuals that are smart, highly motivated, results oriented, self-starter who thrives in a bottoms-up, fast paced, highly technical environment, who can fluently cross the language barriers of technologies and customers, and who want to be the leader in the local search space on the web today. You need to interact with developers, researchers and testers, from vision setting through execution and delivery.

As a Librarian/Analyst within this group, you will be part of a team dedicated to helping provide the next generation in usability to our clients by standardizing, organizing, and ensuring accuracy of keyword databases to support a new information-retrieval system. The successful candidate will apply taxonomy and ontology principles to create and manage metadata to improve `findability’ of resources, diagnose and fix inconsistencies, solve reference issues, analyze linguistic usage patterns and perform basic data analysis tasks.
