Google hasn't really changed in 10 years and we want to mix things up a little... make that a lot! The WebMynd founders believe that personalized search is the next revolution and we are going to do it right on Google's home turf.

WebMynd helps people find their personally-relevant information wherever it is online and wherever they are. It is a browser extension that saves and indexes all the pages you visit online so that it can present back results from your history, as well as your favourite tools such as Delicious, right on Google. We sometimes think of it as a DVR for the web.

WebMynd currently handles up to 100K search per day. Whenever our users do a Google search we have the opportunity to present them with relevant results from their WebMynd history and Delicious. We want to aggregate other search tools in the future and customize the Google interface to make it even better. We are also developing a widget for site-owner so they can customize their site using WebMynd technology.

You will match many of the following characteristics:

    * Experience developing and promoting widgets or browser extensions on Internet Explorer or Firefox
    * Deep experience with Javascript development including UI libraries
    * A good degree in Computer Science, Engineering or Maths
    * High standard of personal ethics and a genuine concern for privacy and security
    * Always wanted to found a startup or have previously founded one
    * Motivated to work for founders' equity rather than a large salary
    * You learn new skills fast and apply them immediately to get things done
    * Languages: Javascript including UI libraries, C++, COM
Please send details of your skills, experience and background to: founders@webmynd.com.
