KNIME is hiring!

At KNIME, we are merging science with start-of-the-art technology and an exciting Silicon Valley startup spirit (ok, our headquarters may be about 5000 miles from Silicon Valley but the startup culture here in Zurich is pretty good too!). We are looking for enthusiastic people who are interested in helping to continue building the leading modern data analysis and exploration platform. We offer competitive salaries, stock options, a chance to be part of a rapidly growing, young company and the opportunity to participate in one of the hottest technology areas out there: making sense of data!

We are not really looking for people who bring in a predefined set of skills to address a series of requirements - instead, we are searching for new members of a highly interactive team, people who enjoy being part of an evolving project and seeing their job description evolve over time while the company grows. Hence please read the following as a starting point, describing what we currently are looking for - after all this is a startup: most of the time you will need to determine your responsibilities and develop the skills needed yourself!

And if you believe your background and interests fit in with KNIME in other ways not listed here, don't hesitate to shoot us a message and explain how you believe you can help KNIME move forward...

Having said this, right now the following types of people would help us most:

Software Engineer, Web UI

You have experience in web based application development and are familiar with HTML5, JavaScript, Google GWT but also aren't shy when it comes to more hard core, server side development, especially in Java. It would be great if you brought along at least some sense of aesthetics, as some of us are a tiny bit too convinced that grey is the only beautiful color. Ideally you also know Eclipse and SWT but ultimately we are looking for someone who helps us bring KNIME to the web! You will be expected to drive new prototypes but also support solid development. And if you convince us that other technologies are so much better to reach our goals - great.

Quality Assurance Engineer

You have experience in software quality assurance methodologies and enjoy focusing on the details such a responsibility requires. Ideally you bring along a background in Java-based code and GUI testing and have worked in this area for a few years already. You will be responsible for bringing the KNIME testing system to the next level and making sure our reputation for rock solid technology keeps pace with our growing business. You will be working closely with the tech support team to stay on top of critical user issues.

Preferably candidates are already in Western Europe since all positions are based in Zurich, Switzerland. Please send your resume and a summary of why you think your background and personality fits the KNIME spirit to: jobs [at] knime [dot] com. No Recruiters, please.
