I work for a company that develops and maintains an online platform used by quite a few large (academic) publishers.

I'm working on the search side of things, integrating the rest of the platform with the text search service we're using. Some (or a lot!) of it is busywork, but sometimes things get interesting. Mostly when you're out of options with what functionality is offered out of the box and you have to essentially look under the hood at the internals and write your own custom thing to serve whatever weird requirement client X came up with.

Apologies for the vagueness!
