Inform Technologies is changing the way that publishers create, curate, and deliver content. Inform has a proven semantic engine that is deployed across a portfolio of top-tier publishers. We are working on innovative solutions in the rapidly evolving online media space and are looking for a Technical Lead to join our software team.

Technical leads play a critical role on the team. They need to understand our product and company strategy and then select technologies and design an architecture that will power that strategy today and into the future. But this is not a whiteboard-only job. Technical leads also play a key role in implementing the architecture including the design and development of Inform core services, service APIs, and web sites. Most of our projects are team efforts, so in addition to your individual contribution you will be leading small teams on focused technology initiatives. And finally, you’ll have a lot of fun working in a great environment and tackling some big challenges for the company and its customers.
