The geeks at JamiQ, are looking for a Information Extraction Engineer to help tame and revolutionise the JamiQ infrastructure.

You are an Information Extraction Engineer. A webpage comes by and, within seconds, you mentally effortlessly buildup a DOM model. (Python | Lisp | Ruby | Perl) flows from your fingertips as you persevere to arrange the data in the most efficient and impossibly portable way. 

Coincidentally, you also have courage to manipulate hundreds of GB of data without breaking into sweat. Building extremely redundant distributed computing infrastructure keeps you awake at night and queue systems are what you think of while taking a walk in the park.

Candidates with demonstrable experience (eg. an IE project) and excellent English are preferred. We welcome candidates from all over the world.

JamiQ is a Singapore-based social media monitoring company. You will be based on the sunny island of Singapore.
