• Want to be a part of a high-performing team, working together in an office in SF

• Want a challenge, ownership, and responsibility

• Be passionate about end user experience and take pride in delivering a world class product

• Be prepared to take responsibility for the reliability and quality of the systems you build. This will include participating in on-call rotations to address issues that come up as well as writing tests to help prevent issues before they occur.

• Want to understand our customers and have a deep appreciation for how the things you’re building will make the customer’s life cooler, better, easier.

We are looking for a seasoned search/search-infra/ml-infra engineer who is looking for an opportunity that comes with a high degree of ownership and responsibility for evolving Tako’s search infrastructure and algorithms.

• Be willing to talk directly with customers to develop a deep understanding of their use cases for Tako and design search features that will delight them

• Collaborate with platform and data infrastructure teams to ensure the product runs smoothly end to end

• Ensure that Tako’s search system can scale in volume and functionality while maintaining aggressive latency goals

What You Will Bring to the Team:

• 4+ years of search/search-infra engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies

• A desire to build a world class search product

• A mastery of python (and at least a familiarity with frameworks like django)
