Are you passionate about search and data retrieval? Do you know what TFIDF stands for? Do you know the pros and cons of stemming vs. lemmatization? How about the differences and tradeoffs with different fuzzy algorithms? If so, and you are up to the challenge of designing and building search solutions that millions of users worldwide depend on daily, Local Matters would love to talk to you.
Local Matters is an Agile development company that builds platforms that power some of the largest local search sites around the world. If you are a smart technologist who is passionate about open source, insists on staying on the leading edge of new technologies, likes to be challenged in a fast-pace environment, and has a background in search, Local Matters may be for you.
The Local Matters Engineering team is a unique collection of some of the best and brightest engineers in the Denver area. We are constantly experimenting with leading-edge technologies and inventing powerful and elegant code architectures, tools, and techniques. Whether it's developing the core of our local search platform, or building CSS processing engines that enable variables, mixins, and expressions, we are always looking for ways to push the envelope and solve real problems.
It's not just about work though; we like to play hard too.
