TITLE:
$2000 Referral Award - Java Engineer to Lead Global Newsstand
Development for Digital Magazines
It's a global village and as a Lead Software Engineer for Zinio
Systems you'll drive the development of our Global Newsstand for
digital magazines to every corner of the world. Anytime a customer
uses Zinio, it will be your work in Lucene or another document search
technology that allows them to find a particular magazine and purchase
it. Publishers are turning to digital media because they can add
sound, movies and other interactive elements that literally make the
page of a magazine pulse with life. It's an exciting time to be
involved in something this new and if you've led teams developing
public-facing, high-transaction, eCommerce websites where people
visit, search for things and buy them, then you can join Zinio and
lead us into this emerging frontier. Refer someone who is hired and
remains on the job for 90 days and earn $2,000. Simply use the link
below in this job description, choose refer, and load the necessary
information about your referral into the Accolo system.
Zinio Systems, Inc. is based in San Francisco with offices in New York
City and is revolutionizing digital publishing and marketing services.
Our products and services enable readers to experience popular
publications in digital format. Our evolving technology platform
brings published content to life with video, audio, flash, links,
highlighting, search and other interactivity directly to screens
around the world. We work with over 1700 consumer magazine and book
titles from 350 publishers and we have 4 million subscribers in most
countries. Prominent publishing clients include Hearst, Hachette
Filipacchi, McGraw-Hill, Playboy, Primedia, World Publications, Ziff
Davis, and IDG. All our clients employ Zinio to reduce distribution
cost, expand internationally, save trees, grow their customer bases,
and develop new revenue streams from an increasingly digital audience.
This is an emerging business area and Zinio has assumed a leadership
position in this dynamic industry sector. We offer employees a
competitive salary, health benefits, 401(k), stock ownership plan and
an excellent work environment.
As one of our Lead Engineers on the Global Newsstand project, one of
your first tasks will be selecting the optimal document search
technology. Your prior experience with the open source Apache Lucene
framework, with the Google Search Appliance or with another 3rd party
offering, such as ISYS:web8, Exalead One or Odeum, will allow you take
the reins in this regard. While we're hoping you'll be proficient with
the Flex 2.0 framework in this role, because rich content is what
distinguishes digital magazines from the printed page, we may settle
for familiarity if you excel in other areas. With digital magazines
being so new, the ability to capture interest as prospective customers
preview them on the Zinio website will be crucial and your involvement
will be key. You also will have the good fortune to work in an
Agile/Scrum bottom up development environment in which our engineers
make decisions on getting software built. Someone willing to become a
Scrum Master will have our full support.
