The Mission

We are democratizing Data and AI for every enterprise user. Our vision is a world where anyone can master their organizations data through Apps and AI Agents. We are building the retrieval backbone for two worlds: the high-precision context layer for AI agents and the intuitive search experience for people goal is the same: instant accurate and actionable insight.

The Role:

  • As a Search Quality Engineer you sit at the heart of this transformation. You arent just building a search engine; you are building the contextual backbone of the entire company.
  • You will own the quality of results for two distinct but deeply connected users:
  • The AI Agent: Optimizing the retrieval layer that allows LLMs to reason over data they werent trained on ensuring they have the ground truth needed to synthesize accurate high-stakes business actions.
  • The Human User: Improving the traditional search experience so employees can find assets and answers through intuitive high-recall interfaces.

The Technical Challenge

This isnt a solved problem. You will be tackling Search in its most evolved form:

  • Hybrid Retrieval: Balancing traditional keyword-based search (for exactness) with semantic vector search (for intent).
  • Dual-Optimization: Fine-tuning ranking models that satisfy both human readability and LLM-ready context.
  • High-Stakes Accuracy: In a world of Agents poor search quality leads to hallucinations. You will build the guardrails and relevance scoring that ensure our AI stays grounded in reality.
  • Data Heterogeneity: Connecting the dots across structured SQL tables unstructured docs and real-time business metrics.

Why This is the Place to Be

  • You will have a front-row seat to the Agentic revolution. If you want to solve the hardest problems in data discovery and see your work power the decision-making of thousands of people lets talk.

What Were Looking For

  • The IR Specialist: You know your way around Lucene/Elasticsearch embeddings and ranking algorithms.
  • The Quality and Metrics Obsessive: You understand that relevance is subjective and love building evaluation frameworks (human-in-the-loop and LLM-based) to measure it. You are obsessed with relevance metrics (nDCG MRR ).
  • The Bridge Builder: Youre excited to apply traditional Information Retrieval (IR) wisdom to the cutting-edge world of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
