Pex is a search engine for music and video, that uses the content as a base for its search (think of Google Image Search just for video/music, with some more features built at top of the technology). To date we've indexed more than 7B videos with daily addition of ~60M.
We operate a massive stack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13726224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13726224), currently using mostly C/C++, Go and Java in most of our pipeline and Javascript and Python for frontend and data analysis.
We offer 30 days of paid vacation, fully covered health benefits (gold plan), commuter benefits, cover costs of visiting conferences and more.
We're looking for skilled senior developers (C/C++, Go, Java, Python/Ruby) that want to work on some very challenging technical problems, in a massive scale. Additionally we're looking for people interested in signal processing and machine learning to join our core search team.
Newly we're experimenting with some remote positions. Only senior developers, no interns at the moment.

- john_z_ml 9y agoAre remote positions available also for the people from outside of US? (Europe, Prague)
- doh 9y agoYes
- xtracto 9y agoQuite interesting what you are doing! I'll send my resume in a bit .
- DelTaco 9y agoOh snap it's like what Pied Piper originally was trying to be, super interesting work!
- doh 9y agoHaha, thanks
- murukesh_s 9y agoYour tech stack seems to be interesting. Do you have more details about how you do scaling? 28k servers seems to be massive to run on a cloud..
- doh 9y agoI don’t have anything in writing right now but slowly working on a more detailed post.
- leovander 9y agoIs this in the same field as Veritone?
- doh 9y agoNot really. The scale we operate at is significantly higher than anything the current AI can handle. Just to give you an idea, there is almost 4M videos with over 1M views with combined 30,351,700.97 minutes of content. This dataset represent only 0.4% of our current dataset but almost 2x of Veritones.
