Job Level
About the role
- Audit our current provider and facility discovery architecture, identifying gaps in geospatial search precision and entity resolution accuracy
- Build relationships with product, design, and data engineering teams to understand upstream data sources and downstream user needs
- Deliver your first search optimization—improving relevance tuning or query performance for a high-traffic lookup scenario
- Design and launch geospatial search capabilities using Elasticsearch/OpenSearch (radius, bounding-box, polygon-based queries) that scale to millions of records
- Extend entity resolution pipelines to deduplicate and reconcile provider data across multiple upstream sources, reducing duplicate records by 30%+
- Own the async data ingestion pipeline for a critical data source, ensuring search indexes stay fresh and accurate
- Act as the code repository maintainer for the search and knowledge graph services, setting technical standards and mentoring junior engineers
- Drive technical strategy for the team, balancing tradeoffs between search relevance, latency, and infrastructure cost
- Integrate AI technologies to automate entity matching and improve search personalization
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-time software development experience building production systems at scale
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with Elasticsearch or OpenSearch, including index design, mapping configuration, query DSL, and relevance tuning
- Strong understanding of geospatial search (geo_point/geo_shape types, distance-based queries, bounding box filters) and entity resolution (matching, merging, and deduplicating records across disparate data sources)
- Proficiency in modern backend languages (Golang, Python, Java, or similar) and cloud-based services (gRPC, Docker/Kubernetes, AWS)
Benefits
- Inclusive healthcare and benefits: On top of comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, we offer employees and their family members help with gender-affirming care, tools for family and fertility planning, and travel reimbursements if healthcare isn't available where you live.
- Planning for the future: Start saving for the future with our traditional or Roth 401k retirement plan options which include a 2% company match.
- Modern life stipends: Manage your own learning and development with stipends to support your growth.
