the analysis of large corpora of electronic documents, a field rich in
technological and commercial opportunities. We have a core technology,
a working product, and a focused team of experienced and passionate
software professionals with broad expertise. Our customer base is
expanding and we are profitable.
We seek individuals with outstanding skills in the analysis of
multi-lingual electronic corpora. We are open in principle to a
variety of training, experience, and inclination---linguistics
computational linguistics, natural language processing, natural
language engineering, artificial intelligence and its applications,
knowledge engineering. We are especially interested in individuals
comfortable with the techniques and relative merits of both symbolic
and statistical approaches. We actively engage both in the
development of new advances of our core technology and product line
and in the application of stable technology to customer needs. In the
long run, both are essential to the health of our company; but in the
short run, satisfying current customers is critical to our
success. Current customers are often driven by impending deadlines and
stringent criteria whose violation imposes significant penalties. This
lends a certain intensity to the Cataphora working environment, and
concomitant opportunities to earn significant rewards (along with
considerable flexibility in working hours).
If this combination of rewards and challenges attracts you and you are
interested in constructing working systems with demonstrated and
growing value, we want to hear from you. (It is not our policy to
handle relocations; TN visas or H1 visa transfers, however, are
conceivable.)
