  • Collaborate cross-functionally across product, infra, and ML teams to drive platform-wide intelligence initiatives.
  • Establish technical direction, mentor engineers, and build frameworks that scale with multi-tenant workloads.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in backend, search, or ML infrastructure; deep experience with OpenSearch/Elasticsearch and distributed systems.
  • Strong programming in Go, Python, or Java; expertise in data pipelines, vector stores, and model-serving frameworks.
  • Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation, LLM-based workflows, or agent systems is highly valued.
