Machine Learning Engineer
New Yesterday
Search Infrastructure Engineer
What you can expect
We’re building the next-generation AI-native knowledge platform to help organizations access and retrieve internal knowledge using LLMs. You’ll join a fast-moving engineering team to build scalable, secure, and intelligent Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) infrastructure — powering enterprise search, AI assistants, and knowledge discovery experiences.
About the Team
You’ll collaborate with world-class engineers, designers, and product thinkers to define "AI-powered search" in the enterprise. As a core engineer, you'll work on real-time document pipelines, vector databases, and permission-aware retrieval to advance applied LLM systems at scale.
Responsibilities
Design and implement a scalable RAG system for real-time Q&A across internal content (meetings, messages, documents, whiteboards, videos, etc.).
Build robust ingestion and indexing pipelines for semi-structured data sources with fine-grained, permission-aware access control.
Develop APIs and backend systems for efficient querying, retrieval, and ranking.
Collaborate with ML/NLP engineers to improve embedding models and search quality.
Ensure system reliability, low latency, and scalability across data retrieval and augmentation stacks.
Monitor system performance and optimize for high-throughput, low-latency workloads under real-world conditions.
What we’re looking for
4+ years experience in backend or distributed systems engineering
Productivity mindset with effective use of AI tools
Experience designing and operating large-scale data ingestion pipelines (message queues, vector stores, Temporal, Elasticsearch, etc.)
Proven ability to build highly available, multi-tenant backend services
Experience with document-level permission modeling and secure data handling
Proficiency with cloud-native tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS
Experience in Go is a plus
Experience integrating with SaaS platforms (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, etc.)
