For the next phase of Memonic’s development we’re looking for a senior Javascript developer. The next phase? Yes we are expanding the Memonic platform to become your personal digital research assistant.

That’s you

You have several years of experience in building bleeding-edge frontend applications. When Jesse James Garrett coined the word Ajax you thought it’s just another word for something you had been doing all along. You love building avant-garde frontend applications that work offline and are extremely fast. You have built responsive designs so that the same application works on browsers of all sizes.

You like to work under the pressure and excitement of a growing startup. Our development methodology Scrum is no hubbub expression to you.

You are willing and able to work at our offices in the center of Zurich, Switzerland. You have a work permit in Switzerland or are a citizen of an EU or EFTA state.

We want you

For a new product launching in early 2012 we seek you for a fix position. You will be part of the core platform team building this real-time knowledge gathering platform. Within days you will be taking over the responsibility for sizable portions of the frontend. All in all: A pretty exciting job.

That’s us

Become part of a sound, fervent, and vibrant team: We are a team of passionate Internet geeks and entrepreneurs. Together we face the challenge of simplifying the everyday need for information gathering and refining: Discover, follow, collect, and share any interest. We call it Knowledge Curation.

Memonic helps Recruiters and Headhunters get the best people into the best jobs

You need to stay on top of great new talent and gather the latest press and media clips about companies you work with. But the current tools are lacking: Up until today, a search usually involved tedious copying & pasting, and clumsy organization – on top of recruiting tools that don’t let you drop web clippings right in. Try Memonic for a perfect enhancement to your process, and get more people great jobs!

Watch this short tutorial to see how, or visit our landing page for Recruiters. As always, we would love to know what you think!

In this day and age, everything is a gimmick and everyone has an iPad-optimized resume. You need to stand out in your job search. Memonic can help! Let us show you how.

We all know the basics: update the Linkedin and Xing profiles, have your own website (applicable to several professions), network, and more. The key, however, is preparation. If you are truly exceptional and do your homework, your chances of getting a job will multiply.

To make the best use of the internet and perfectly prepare, check out Memonic. Memonic is your job search companion. In fact, it’s an amazing tool for ANY web search – even within your existing job!

Watch this short tutorial to learn how, and let us know if Memonic helped you in your job search!

Keren just made the point: A diverse team is more resilient and more attractive. That’s why we pay particular attention to hiring and try hiring folks who fit to us as much as we fit to them.

You may have noticed, I don’t talk about the ‘right’ people or the ‘best’ people. Everyone raising children – and most of us eventually do in some role or another – has an infinitely more difficult job than any we have on offer (or any other company for that matter). Giving them the right education is relevant for whole life and beyond.

So what characterizes folks who fit to us?

From Internet World Business/Switzerland – January 2011

Take a look at this picture. These faces abounded, over six editorial pages, within Internet World Businesses most recent issue – highlighting the faces and names rocking the tech scene in Switzerland. Notice anything funny?

We’ll tell you what it is: Save for ONE – on a different page – these are all men.

Now, we have nothing against men. Our company is also mostly male. But we do have two women on our team, and often work with female freelancers. This practice of engaging women enriches our operation, and offers a fresh perspective in the office. And we are not just talking about the decor.

Outdated notions about women are just that: out-dated (but for kicks, check out this link for a hilarious 1943 guide to hiring women). According to a recent US government report, it is estimated that women account for more than half the world’s output, and by 2025, the number of women in the workforce will surpass that of men. In the US alone, women already hold 49.1 per cent of the nation’s jobs, and more than half of college and university students are female. In Asia, the female labour force participation has been growing steadily over the last five years. Nonetheless, more can be done to encourage women, particularly those who have been out of the workforce, to come back to work. For example – opening up realms they may not naturally explore. Like TECHNOLOGY.

We hope that with examples like Google’s Marissa Meyer, or with High-Tech former CEOs like Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman and their rising profiles, this will change over time. For now, we chuckle at the fact that on the bottom right hand corner of the above picture, there’s an ad for a webmaster course…featuring a majority of women. Perhaps they’re out of touch. Or maybe- they can see the future.

For now, we encourage you, our friends, to hire for diversity. In the end – it will make your team that much stronger and more attractive. 

On that note, we would like to mention that Memonic is hiring! If you are or you know a huge talent in engineering, sales or marketing – we would love to hear from you!
