World Evolved is the second venture for Heidi Messer and Stephen Messer,
the sister and brother team who founded, built and sold LinkShare
Corporation, which was acquired by a Japanese portal for $425 million in
2005 (www.linkshare.com). That transaction is widely recognized as one
of the most significant investor exits in the New York new media market
in the last decade, and we expect that World Evolved will be even more
ground-breaking.
The scale and market opportunity for World Evolved is incredibly large,
and we have already attracted an amazing group of about 10 PhDs and 15
Masters graduates from schools like Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, MIT, and
NYU, who represent more than 10 countries. We’re working on a variety of
massively scalable systems related to web applications and services,
analytics, knowledge discovery, information storage and retrieval, data
mining, machine learning and AI, and because the company is still so
young, we all have a huge impact on the development of World Evolved’s
incredible technology, as well as its public image.
The company is still in stealth mode and thus information on what is
being developed will only be provided after an initial screening of
prospective candidates who have signed non-disclosure agreements. The
company is headquartered in midtown in New York City.
We have the following position open in our UI team. You will be working
with a passionate and talented team of UI/usability researchers and
engineers and will be an early member on the team. We offer great
compensation, a fun atmosphere, respect for your private time and
boundless opportunity.
