Dear all, We are looking for a new member to join our team. This position requires solid knowledge of Python, plus experience with web development, HTML5, XSLT, JSON, CSS3, relational databases and NoSQL but search (and SOLR) is the central point of everything we do here. So, if you love SOLR/Lucene as we do, then I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for search related development for you too.
About the project: http://labs.adsabs.harvard.edu/adsabs/ The ADS is the central discovery engine for astronomical information, used nearly every day by nearly every astronomer. Conceived 20 years ago, moving into its third decade, the ADS continues to serve the research community worldwide. The ADS is currently developing the next-generation web-based platform supporting current and future services. The project is committed to developing and using open-source software. The main components of the system architecture are: Apache SOLR/Lucene (search), CERN Invenio and MongoDB (storage), Python+Flask+Bootstrap (frontend). We are looking for a highly-motivated full-stack developer interested in joining a dynamic team of talented individuals architecting and implementing the new platform. Your primary responsibility is the design, development, and support of the ADS front-end applications (including the new search interface) as well as the implementation of the user database, login system and personalization features.
