    Description: Cataphora is a young, growing company, building a business whose focus is the analysis of large corpora of electronic documents, a field rich in technological and commercial opportunities. We have a core technology, a working product, and a focused team of experienced and passionate software professionals with broad expertise. Our customer base is expanding and we are profitable. We seek individuals with outstanding skills in the analysis of multi-lingual electronic corpora. We are open in principle to a variety of training, experience, and inclination---linguistics, artificial intelligence and its applications, knowledge engineering. We are especially interested in individuals comfortable with the techniques and relative merits of both symbolic and statistical techniques. We actively engage both in the development of new advances of our core technology and product line and in the application of stable technology to customer needs. In the long run, both are essential to the health of our company; but in the short run, satisfying current customers is critical to our success. Current customers are often driven by impending deadlines and stringent criteria whose violation imposes significant penalties. This lends a certain intensity to the Cataphora working environment, and concomitant opportunities to earn significant rewards (along with considerable flexibility in working hours). If this combination of rewards and challenges attracts you and you are interested in constructing working systems with demonstrated and growing value, we want to hear from you. (It is not our policy to handle relocations; TN visas or H1 visa transfers, however, are conceivable.) Requirements: + familiarity with basic search techniques and ontology development + background in theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence and their applications to search techniques and ontology development + experience, proficiency, facility in programming + intellectual curiosity + appreciation for working with great people in a promising young company Strongly preferred (the more the better!): + knowledge of other major world languages (in addition to English) + excellent working knowledge of Java, Python, Perl + familiarity with large database applications + strong data visualization design and development skills + strong quantitative and verbal abilities + honest, articulate, and persuasive Job Location:
