Description: Weblog's archive of Tim Converse, an engineer at Yahoo Search and formerly of Inktomi and Excite, commenting on Internet technology, search and related topics.
I’ve been working in Silicon Valley since 2000, at first as an engineer and then as a …. well, that’s what we’re here to talk about. Over the last decade I’ve seen increasing use of the title “Scientist” for a certain kind of employee who works on large consumer Internet services (like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Amazon, etc.). The profile of these people is that they typically (but not always) have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related discipline (Statistics, Physics, Math), they are mathematically facile, they are well-versed in machine learning and other statistical techniques, and they are comfortable with the analysis of really large data sets. (I’m talking here about the “applied scientists” who work on product, not the small number of people in research labs at these companies who really are judged by a “publish or perish” standard).
