ScraperWiki.com is always looking for talented, generalist engineers - people
who can advance our products and build things for our customers.
Location: Liverpool/Northwest UK
We're currently building <a href="https://pdftables.com" > which converts tables of data locked up
in PDFs into formats more useful for the general public. What sounds like a
boring problem actually requires quite a sophisticated approach - PDF's usually
don't have much in the way of useful structural information in them.
As an engineer at ScraperWiki I can honestly say this is the most fun place I
have worked. My office offers an environment of self-determination, a chance to
explore all areas of the stack from product development to technical development, operations, security, product design and user experience.
We have a generous holiday package and a guy in the office called Dragon. He
has a giant fluffy red beard and long hair and is generally an awesome guy.
What more could one ask?
We build things in Python, Go and Node, using Github, EC2 and salt - to name a
few things. Of you, we don't ask anything specific, but hopefully you can
demonstrate to us some decent experience in building interesting things. We
would expect someone who at least had a year or two's experience with Python
or experience equivalent to that.
You can contact me personally or our CEO. Bonus points if you can crack the
puzzle:
