Web Engineer Scribd

Scribd is seeking talented engineers with a strong computer science background who enjoy building high quality products used by millions.

Some of the interesting components we've written are: our own search engine library to search the largest single text corpus on the internet; a fuzzy text-matching system that can identify similar blocks of text; an API that's depended on by thousands of businesses; and a document conversion system that runs on a dynamically scalable grid of over 1,000 Amazon EC2 nodes.
