Company Overview:
Become, Inc. was founded in early 2004 with a mission to help people make ideal buying decisions. As avid shoppers, we realized the tremendous difficulty associated with researching new products and services.
Become found that none of the available shopping services met all of a consumer’s needs. General purpose search engines were fine for general purpose queries, but they frequently provided search results unrelated to shopping or page after page of merchants trying to sell something. At the other end of the spectrum, price comparison sites never showed comprehensive research information such as buying guides, product reviews, articles, forums, and other useful shopping information.
Become, Inc. is working to provide comprehensive, relevant, and unbiased research information to help customers choose the right product. Become also provides a comparison shopping service to help customers get the best deal. Finding the right product at the best price to save customers time and money –that’s the goal. Become is meeting this goal by developing innovative new technologies and search services.
Become offers a competitive compensation package that includes generous stock options, medical insurance benefits (100% paid for employees), and an attractive work environment. This is an opportunity to join an early-stage venture and make a significant contribution to building a great company.
Positions require a BS or MS in CS, Applied Sciences, or Mathematics, as well as relevant experience such as a working knowledge of Unix/Linux/Windows systems, C/C++, Posix, STL, Perl, TCP/IP networking, firewalls, routers, load balancers, HTML, DHTML, CSS, IFrame, XML, XSLT, Java, SOAP, J2SE, servlet, jsp, SQL, DBMS, OLAP, data mining, info retrieval, and artificial intelligence.
