Description:

As a C++ Developer / Computational Linguist at Q-go, you are working in a
team developing Q-go's core technology: the Natural Language Match Engine.
Your job will be maintaining the current code base and implementing new
functionality with a close eye on performance and scalability as well as
quality and testability.

The Natural Language Match Engine is released together with other parts of
Q-go's suite in a quarterly cycle. Consequently, you will work closely with
other C++ and PHP developers, but also with Q-go's Linguists and Researchers.

We expect you to be an active and critical team member. We greatly
appreciate that developers take initiative in the functional development of
our products.

Technology
Q-go's core technology is implemented in C++ using STL and Boost libraries.
Linux is used as a main development environment with shell scripts for
automated building, integration and testing.

Culture
The culture within Q-go is young, open and informal. We are working hard
and results matter. Taking responsibility is important. Q-go is ambitious
('we are going to conquer the world!') and optimistic ('The bottle is half
full!'). Not just thinking, but making it happen!
