- Experience: 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years as a technical leader driving complex, cross-team projects
- Product Sensibility: A strong user-first mindset and the ability to translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical direction
- AI/ML Familiarity: Experience partnering with Data Science to deploy and leverage machine learning and gen-AI systems in search experiences across ranking and retrieval
- Domain Expertise: knowledge of search/query processing, including traditional, semantic, and hybrid frameworks (e.g., Elasticsearch, Lucene)
- Technical Stack: Strong programming skills in Kotlin or Java, with experience in high-performance backend systems, Protocol Buffers, and MySQL
- Strategic Leadership: Demonstrated ability to contribute to team strategy without supervision and influence the broader organizational roadmap
