About the Job

Your primary focus will be relevance evaluation and quality improvements:

• LLM-based evaluation. We fine-tune our own models to assess relevance. This involves teaching the model to understand query intent, represent items from messy catalog data, and align model judgments with real user behavior.

• Real-time quality in production. Reranking, filtering, signal computation. Latency is a strict requirement, so quality vs speed tradeoff is constant.

• Automated quality monitoring and agentic insights. Pipelines to detect degradations and find underperforming patterns. Agent-based systems that generate actionable recommendations for the product data and search configurations.

What makes this interesting

• Multi-domain, multi-language, at scale - 40+ languages, 20+ domains. The models need to generalize across all of them - without per-customer rules or overrides.

• No universal ground truth. A grocery retailer and a fashion retailer may have different perceptions on what "relevant" means.

• Efficiency at scale. Optimizing and scaling LLM inference across our entire customer base.

Requirements

• 4+ years shipping production ML systems

• Experience with search, information retrieval, or recommendation systems

• Hands-on experience with fine-tuning, evaluation frameworks, and scaling LLM deployments

• Strong Python and PyTorch. Fluency in SQL and data orchestration tools (Spark, Airflow)

• Experience designing and running A/B tests to validate model impact

• Excellent English communication skills

• Experience collaborating in cross-functional teams (ranking, product, data engineering)
