Yahoo! Connections:
The Connections team at Yahoo! has the charter to connect our customers to each other and to content – contextually and based on their interests and social networks. Every product team in Connections does this in some way already and we’ll be looking for new ways to innovate quickly. In many ways, we also connect the other consumer business units, Media and Commerce, by sending traffic their way through Search, embedded links in Mail & Messenger, and referrals through Social Bar, amongst others.
Yahoo! Multimedia Search:
The multimedia search system processes millions of queries per day across US and other regions. It is a complex system that requires continuous problem solving and applied innovation! Developing for this infrastructure presents challenging opportunities in areas of distributed computing, multi-terabyte storage systems, and high-performance computing.
The Yahoo Multimedia Search team in Bangalore is looking for experienced engineers, who are looking out for challenging opportunities, to join the team that develops innovative features for the product, and also powers the infrastructure for multimedia search.
