Irreverent Job Listing

[flwyd]

I've spent much of today skimming really boring job postings. There's a certain uniformity in job board language that makes reading about exciting work really droll. This means (unless you're picky about domain like I am), it's hard for any job posting to stick out. So I was amused to find this job posting written in Ruby on the Joel on Software jobs board. I could tell the company was at least kinda hip when I saw their name was Shop It To Me. It's exactly the sort of character I would dig in a company; unfortunately they're working in a domain I'm not interested in.

Whoa, that was quick..........
///some pretty cool things technically and have some pretty intellectually interesting technical challenges
To start, you can give us a hint about the type of intellectual challenges..
The only thing that grabs the eye about the posting is 'shopping personalization engine' may be you can elaborate a little on what are the main features, you are considering for it, (like cognitive archs (CHREST,ACT-R etc...).. or maybe you planning to use Neural networks, Genetic algorithm etc..
