• Diagnose and resolve relevance and performance issues across data, query logic, retrieval, ranking, models, and product decisions.
• Evaluate new models and technologies pragmatically, understanding their tradeoffs and identifying where they can create meaningful improvements to the search experience.
• Work closely with data and product teams to introduce new datasets, datapoints, and search capabilities while ensuring appropriate coverage and data quality.
• Contribute to technical direction and system architecture while maintaining reliable, scalable, and maintainable production services.
