[webkit-jobs] New Webkit Engineer Position at Stanford Semantic Search Startup

[Mike Tung]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a PhD student at on leave from Stanford to build a new search company.
 We've got VC funding, revenue, and power some large customers right now.
 I'm looking for someone with experience with Webkit rendering internals
(particularly WebCore) to help with extracting information for our computer
vision algorithms that we apply to the rendered page.  We're open to both
full-time or part-time/contract help.

More information about the job below.  If this sounds like you, send me a
quick message.  Thanks!
