Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer in the Discover Team, you will build AI-powered backend systems that enable intelligent candidate discovery through semantic search, matching, ranking, and recommendations.

You Will Work On Platforms That

• Understand candidate profiles, job descriptions and other entities
• Generate and serve attribute embeddings
• Perform semantic retrieval across millions of profiles
• Rank candidates based on hiring context and recruiter intent
• Continuously learn from recruiter interactions and outcomes
  
  

• Design and develop backend services powering AI-driven talent search and recommendations.
• Build scalable pipelines for ingestion, representation, and retrieval of job and candidate attributes.
• Implement semantic search and matching systems using embeddings and vector-based retrieval techniques.
• Develop candidate-job ranking systems leveraging behavioural and contextual hiring signals.
• Build real-time scoring and decisioning APIs for recruiter-facing discovery workflows.
• Work closely with Data Science teams to productionize matching and ranking models.
• Improve match quality through feature engineering, scoring strategies, and experimentation.
• Contribute to experimentation platforms (A/B testing) to evaluate discovery relevance.
• Optimise low-latency retrieval systems across large-scale candidate datasets.
• Ensure scalability, reliability, and observability of AI-driven discovery services.
