Shlomy Boshy’s Experience

Algorithmic Software Team Leader

Outbrain

(Privately Held; Internet industry)

April 2009 — Present (9 months)

Leading an algorithmic software development team.
More than 50% of time still developing algorithms and software.

The team designs, researches and implements algorithms and software for recommending high-quality, timely and relevant content for users reading content on the internet.

Algorithms include content-based search algorithms, collaborative filtering, behavioral algorithms and personalization algorithms for finding content relevant to the user.
Machine learning, classification algorithms, statistical algorithms and other techniques are used in the process.

Performance and scalability are also major issues.

Development is done in Core Java and as web applications under Tomcat, on Windows and Linux environments using various additional 3rd party and open source tools.

Management includes recruiting and training team members, managing team work plans, work with QA and support teams to ensure product quality for the end customer and participating in defining product requirements with product managers.
