Search Engineering is a new team comprised of highly skilled and senior engineers; experts in the search domain. We are building a global Search Component in our Paris Hub which we will quickly take on a journey from MVP to 100 +million unique users a month as we integrate the product with our marketplaces all over the world. Our teams very autonomous and self organising; they are empowered to define the stack, approach to agile and architecture as a collective rather than from the top down.

Responsibilities:

• Selection of the right machine learning algorithm for business goals
• Build scalable machine learning tools, distributed clusters and models for search (MLR)
• Experiment with different models and assess their potential in offline evaluations and by setting up A/B tests
• Collaborate in cross-functional teams consisting of product managers, data engineers and analysts to build a great search product that correspond to the needs of our market places
• Contribute to the end-to-end deployment of machine learning models
• Popularize search initiatives via Medium posts and meetup talks and our internal community

Qualifications
