Résumé du poste

amo in Paris is seeking a senior search engineer to build and improve production search across multiple entity types. You will work on geospatial search, indexing, query planning, retrieval, and ranking, while designing metrics and feedback loops to gauge quality.

You will run offline evaluations and production experiments, tuning results through relevance, personalization, and contextual signals, and explore semantic or embedding-based search where useful.

Qualifications

• Senior-level experience building production search systems.
• Strong understanding of indexing, query planning, retrieval, and ranking.
• Experience with geospatial search.
• Experience with search quality metrics, experimentation, and feedback loops.
• Experience evaluating, tuning, extending, or building search/indexing systems beyond basic API usage.
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals.
• Ability to reason about latency, relevance, correctness, and scale.
• Experience with local search, maps, discovery, or multi-entity search systems.
• Experience with semantic search, embeddings, ranking, recommendations, or personalization.
• Experience with Rust search/indexing systems or similar low-level indexing primitives.

Responsabilités

• Build and improve search across multiple entity types.
• Work on geospatial search, indexing, query planning, retrieval, and ranking.
• Design metrics and feedback loops for search quality.
• Run offline evaluations and production experiments.
• Tune results using relevance, popularity, personalization, and contextual signals.
