What you will do
Your Impact
As a Senior Search Engineer on our Discovery Team, you will build the retrieval layer behind product discovery for some of the world’s most demanding commerce brands.
Search is changing shape. Shoppers type full sentences instead of keywords, and increasingly the client calling our API is an AI agent rather than a person. We are on the path to take our semantic and hybrid retrieval to general availability, and tackling the hard problems: making it fast, affordable, measurably better across enterprise catalogs, and working out what comes after it. You would join that work at every layer, from query understanding down to the vector index and the cost of a single query.
You will
- Design and implement search functionalities in a PaaS ecommerce Scala backend.
- Develop in a scalable and multi-tenant architecture.
- Analyze user needs and discuss technical approaches.
- Test software components regarding usability, functionality, and performance, and work closely with Product Management and DevOps.
