Internet Archive is looking for engineering managers with a rare set of experiences, and we could use your help.

Do you know someone with extensive experience using PHP as a systems language? Someone who has gardened a petabyte-scale system under high load? Is this person a player/coach engineering manager who enjoys helping other people succeed?

If you do know someone like this, or someone close, I would love to talk to them.

Apply at this link and drop me a line:

My team at Internet Archive has 3 open roles: a senior product manager (we build web and digital preservation services for mission-aligned memory and cultural heritage institutions), a senior AI engineer (exploring how we might use AI/ML to better surface human-authored content to humans), and a (non-senior) backend software engineer.

If you want to help keep this ember glowing and growing, and are up for some unique challenges, please apply!

Very excited to launch IA's new and improved GeoCities GIF search engine GifCities.org. Paul Baclace put together a novel approach for generating vector embeddings for animated GIFs, and @vilmibm@tiny.tilde.website built the new search application and a KidPix-inspired e-card mode (GifGram). Check it out!
