[Job] Solr Search Opportunity - Direct Hire, Not a Recruiter

[Bennett Smith <be...@mac.com>]

Hello,

The company I work for is looking to hire a Sr. Software Engineer with  
considerable experience using Solr.  The project we are embarking on  
is relatively new so the person we hire would have a lot of freedom to  
help define the architecture for our e-commerce product and merchant  
indexing and search services.

Below is a copy of the job description. If you are interested please  
send an e-mail directly to me. I am the hiring manager using the e- 
mail address bsmith at auctiva dot com.

Many thanks

Bennett Smith
