- Understanding of embeddings, chunking, and retrieval strategies.
- Familiarity with search-specific tuning: analyzers, BM25, shard sizing, cluster health, and relevance optimization.
- Comfort taking systems from implementation to deployment and production operation, working across backend services, data pipelines, and integration points as needed.
Nice to Have:
- Experience evaluating and improving search relevance using both qualitative analysis and quantitative metrics.
- Experience shipping AI-powered or LLM-integrated backend systems
- Comfortable using modern AI tools like GPT, Copilot, or Cursor to boost productivity and streamline development.
