• Opportunities to run proofofconcepts and influence technology adoption.
• Supportive culture emphasizing learning, quality, and continuous improvement.
• Work on cutting edge AI/Search solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Enhance our search experience with generative and personalization capabilities
• Contribute to integrating search and AI/ML capabilities (semantic enrichment, relevance, generative augmentation) into the platform.
• Built Agentic workflows, AI/ML solutions for search and data retrieval.
• Work on improving and implementing RAG and context engineering.
• Work with advanced data stores such as Vector stores to improve data retrieval accuracy and be able to optimize storage and retrieval.
• Design, implement, and enhance Java microservices and shared framework modules.
• Deliver features improving resilience, observability, configuration, developer experience, and security.
• Build and maintain eventdriven components and data pipelines using Kafka (producers, consumers, schemas, stream processing).

• Experience building RESTful APIs/services (Spring Boot or similar framework).
• Solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and Git workflows.
• Working knowledge of testing practices (JUnit/Mockito or similar).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and basic cloud deployment concepts.
• Clear, professional communication and collaborative mindset.
• Experience with Kafka or another event streaming / messaging system.
• Experience with search technologies (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch/Lucene) or vector/semantic retrieval.
• Experience integrating AI/ML features (e.g., calling model APIs, embedding generation, ranking).
• Experience working with Vector stores.
• Experience working with AI/ML framework such as langchain/langgraph.
• Observability tooling familiarity (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry concepts, structured logging).
• CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.).
• Knowledge of security fundamentals (secrets management, authN/Z patterns).
