Bandcamp is seeking a talented software engineer to help us improve our site search and discovery features. You’ll have significant opportunities to have a meaningful impact, helping fans find the artists that they love.

- Balance your attention to detail with the desire to release improvements and new features
- Offer opinions on technical decisions and directions, while being open to the opinions of others
- Have the opportunity to mentor less experienced engineers (and maybe those who are more experienced!), on your areas of expertise
You have:
- Experience building, evaluating, and tuning search and discovery features for online marketplaces or large catalogs
- Extensive experience with one or more of: Lucene, Solr, Elasticsearch
- A love of ruby, or extensive experience with another object-oriented language, eg. Java, Python
