They use these insights to drive amazing progress within their organizations. Our mission is to provide access to dispersed, hidden, and underutilized knowledge.

You might work on:

- Work closely with stakeholders to determine which tools and improvements will improve their discovery experience

- Develop new, novel ways to provide personalized recommendations to our users

- Find, import, and make searchable public data that will be used to optimize the search process

- Propose and deliver a new product initiative to production

- Optimize and scale our search engine infrastructure
