Work on the world's top search engine for mining "intellectual capital" in a 
high profile Principal Software Engineer position at Verity. As a key member of 
our Kernel Team, you'll craft novel and elegant algorithms that will turbo 
charge how we index, store and retrieve data stashed in intranets, extranets 
and other enterprise goldmines of information. Verity commands this fast 
growing industry niche and your contributions in this highly strategic position 
will fuel your own growth in the company. A generous compensation package, and 
a collaborative, tier-one development team are two additional reasons to join 
our dynamic organization. For the top performer, this could be an important 
step on a career path to Chief Architect.

Verity is in the exciting business of helping organizations maximize the return 
on their investment in "intellectual capital." Our software accesses data 
stored in multiple formats (ASCII, HTML, PDF) and locations (CD-ROM, newswires, 
intranets). We index, classify, search, and retrieve data for corporate 
intranets, extranets, and portals; online publishers; manufacturers; and 
software developers.

As our Sunnyvale, California-based Principal Software Engineer, your challenges 
will be improving search relevancy and maintaining performance as queries soar. 
Your strategic grasp of information retrieval and knowledge management will 
overlay tactical skills in kernel level coding, sorting algorithms, XML data 
handling, process and threading management, and memory/disk management. You 
will carefully control the compiler, eliminate redundancies in algorithms, and 
optimize memory and disk caches. On the extreme end, you will uniquely blend 
statistics and probability theory to research and implement novel search 
algorithms that outperform the existing one. This road leads into the unknown, 
but that's always been the path for those who dream of turning lead into gold.
