  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead, or leading an engineering team
  • 5+ years of experience in the full software development life cycle, including coding standards and operations

Responsibilities

  • Design and evolve matching algorithms that combine ML scoring and LLM-based inference.
  • Expand and improve production use of LLMs for match decisions.
  • Drive the expansion of matching capabilities to new content types.
  • Own the end-to-end quality of match decisions, including precision and recall.
  • Lead technical design, code reviews, and operational excellence for the engineering team.

  • Partner with ingestion, curation, and publication teams to ensure smooth integration.
  • Define metrics, monitoring, and debugging tools for match quality.

Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
