About the role
We're hiring a Senior AI/ML Engineer for the Discovery Pod to help build and run the ranking, recommendation, and search systems buyers rely on to find the right stone or piece in seconds. This is real information retrieval and applied ML work on production infrastructure — search systems, embedding-based retrieval, learning-to-rank, LLM-powered contextual and conversational search, image embeddings for photo-based search — not configuring a hosted search widget or calling a model API and moving on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
More about this role
Nivoda is the operating system for the global jewellery industry. We connect diamond and gemstone suppliers directly with jewellery retailers across more than 70 countries, replacing a slow, offline, relationship-gated way of trading with a single digital marketplace. We're already powering over $300M in annual transactions, inside an industry worth more than $350B globally — and we're still early. Jewellery is one of the last major global industries to go digital, and we're the ones building the rails it will run on.
Diamond and gemstone trading has run for decades on fragmented networks, manual processes, and who-you-know relationships — which locks smaller and newer businesses out, and leaves even the biggest players losing time and margin to inefficiency. We started Nivoda to fix that: to give any jewellery business, wherever it is and whatever size it is, the same access, pricing transparency, and ease of trading as an industry giant. Our mission is to make buying and selling diamonds and gemstones radically simpler, everywhere in the world.
You'd be joining the Discovery Pod 🔍 — the team that decides how hundreds of thousands of diamonds and gemstones actually get found....
