Jobs at Quickwit

Search is a mission-critical building block of any tech stack. Popular open-source search engines such as Elasticsearch or Solr are widely deployed throughout organizations around the world. However, those engines were developed more than ten years ago, and in the last decade, two fundamental trends accelerated. First, the amount of data stored in enterprise applications dramatically exploded. Second, the rise of cloud computing led to vast improvements in computing, storage, and network technologies. As a result, companies struggle to run existing search systems at scale and must mobilize considerable resources and capital to do so. Time has come for a radical redesign, from the ground up. As the authors of tantivy, the leading and fastest Rust search engine library, we are best positioned to engineer the search and analytics engine of tomorrow - one that addresses the shortcomings of its predecessors and leverages the full power and promise of the cloud. That’s why we founded Quickwit.
