Responsibilities

Own the Future of Search: You will lead the technical strategy and end-to-end execution for core initiatives. This could mean building new experiences for discovery and intent refinement, building the search stack on a modular framework with rich targeting capabilities, or laying the groundwork for natural language search

Build for Nuance and Scale: You'll design, code, and ship features using Go and modern web technologies. You'll solve complex challenges at the intersection of a cutting-edge backend stack of ranking and retrieval logic, and user-facing presentation

Drive the "Flywheel": You will actively work with PMs, Designers, and UXR to understand the deep-seated needs of our users, shipping improvements that build user trust and kickstart a flywheel of engagement and discovery

Level-Up the Team: As a senior technical voice, you will mentor other engineers, elevate our engineering foundations through initiatives like the migration to Lego, and champion a culture of high-quality code and rapid execution

Required

6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping high-impact, user-facing products

Strong proficiency in a backend language like Go, Java, or Python (we use Go) and experience designing the APIs and services that power front-end surfaces

A strong sense of product intuition and a passion for the user; you're not just an implementer, you want to understand the why

You elevate the engineers around you through thoughtful code reviews, clear design documentation, and mentorship

Preferred

You have direct experience with Search, Recommendations, or Ranking systems

You have a history of successfully leading complex, cross-functional projects and enjoy the ambiguity and autonomy that comes with it

You have a deep understanding of distributed systems and what it takes to build and maintain highly available, low-latency services at scale

You are data-driven and have a deep appreciation for how system performance and small UX details impact user behavior. You're comfortable digging into metrics to diagnose a drop-off in the funnel

You are excited about the 'Inspiration and Discovery' pillar of our strategy and have ideas on how to build compelling experiences that exceed user expectations
