Senior Software Engineer - Search Application (Agentic Search)

In this position, your responsibility will be to

• Design, implement, and operate core backend components of a search orchestration system, spanning online services and background data pipelines.
• Build well-tested services and pipelines with clear responsibilities and interaction contracts, while remaining flexible as the system evolves
• Define and implement observability primitives, including structured logs, metrics, traces, and quality signals for both online and offline components
• Support experimentation and iteration by enabling feature flags, controlled rollouts, and online experiments
• Track throughput, latency, and resource usage across the system, and improve performance or cost efficiency when business needs require it
• Collaborate closely with ML engineers to integrate search quality improvements to the system, while keeping ML logic decoupled from core system internals
• Monitor resource usage, bandwidth consumption, and infrastructure cost
• Work with data analysts and product managers to translate product and quality goals into concrete backend behavior and measurable metrics

You may be a good fit if you:

• 5+ years of experience building product critical backend services
• Strong Go and Python Experience
• Experience with large-scale distributed systems (5k+ RPS, billions of events, high-throughput pipelines)
• Understanding of Information Retrieval flows and pipelines
• Experience operating production systems and debugging failures in distributed environments
• Strong understanding of scalability, fault tolerance, and resource management
• Are interested in either a strong senior IC role or a role with significant technical leadership and ownership.
