Responsibilities

• Own semantic understanding: Semantic search is one of our most valuable features - it enables our users to describe a company or market problem as they see fit, and find the most compelling startups in that space. It still has so much room for improvement, and every margin of improvement translates to our customers finding better opportunities, and more innovation getting funded.
• You will lead the strategy and roadmap to improve and evolve semantic search precision and recall outcomes. This spans everything from structuring data for embeddings and fine-tuning embedding models through to creative retrieval and ranking strategies. You\'ll experiment with and implement novel approaches to continually increment towards perfect search results.
• Architect RAG + personalization: Harmonic is becoming a centralized repository for all of a customer’s startup engagement and investments. As we contextualize user’s implicit interactions and explicitly provided content, we can further personalize search results and research answers, helping them find the most relevant opportunities that align with their investment thesis.
• To drive this, you will own designing and building systems that persist and leverage high value data to produce outcomes with real-time, individualized responses. Think storage and RAG over data like: notes, pitch decks, correspondences – plus prior search queries, engagement patterns, and long-term-memory stores.
• Cross-team leadership: Partner with infra to generalize your search and RAG architecture for platform-wide use, and drive integration in features across product engineering teams.
