Senior Backend Engineer: Recommendations

The Recommendations team plays an important role in improving the experience of our customers & end-users. We're a passionate team of cross-functional engineers who love challenges and want to make people’s lives better. We value openness, curiosity, continuous improvement, and great code. We believe that empowering everyone in a company to do what they think is best can lead to great things.

Our team is committed to perfecting traditional methods of product discovery while spearheading new avenues with the assistance of large language models, ushering in a new era of innovation and user engagement.

The Recommendation team manages multiple endpoints within shared services, alongside its own cloud-deployed solutions developed in Python, which require leveraging NoSQL databases and interfacing with both internal and external services. As part of our roadmap, we are planning to separate all main developments into distinct high-load distributed services.

A primary focus of this job is to design, deliver & maintain highload real-time web services in close collaboration with other great engineers both from recommendations & other teams.
