Original posting
Shopping search engine startup in London, UK (INTERN, REMOTE)
I'm building a shopping search engine, focused on helping people decide what to buy from hundreds of product options. This is not another cute mobisociofoto app. This is a business which solves a problem for a lot of people, and has a business model from day one.
I am rapidly building out the first version of the product as per my vision, but need help with various supporting tasks to speed up the development. The current stack is Ruby on Rails, MySQL, jQuery hosted on a VPS.
I need help with:
Setting up new Linux servers, including VPS and AWS
Getting data feeds from various UK retailers and affiliate networks
Scraping sites which do not have data feeds
Building systems for speeding up manual editing and correction of product data
Building backend admin tools
Documenting everything in a wiki
You'll get real responsibility and real power to do things the way you think is right. I'm a solo founder, so I expect you to learn, teach and document infrastructure stuff to help me focus on the core product.
I expect a good standard of work, so you're not expected to work for free. You'll get paid in cash, books and gadgets. And beer :-)
If I like working with you, I will offer you a job down the line.
