About the role
We are looking for a Senior / Staff Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience to build GovDash's search, recommendation, and knowledge systems from the ground up. This role is for engineers who enjoy working with data at scale, building intelligent retrieval pipelines, and creating systems that help users find exactly what they need across massive document sets.
You'll work on search infrastructure, recommendation engines, and data pipelines that power discovery across the platform. While you'll work across the stack, this role leans backend and emphasizes search systems, data engineering, and retrieval-augmented AI.
What you will do:
- Design, build, and scale backend services that power search, recommendations, and relevant data retrieval.
- Build and optimize data pipelines that ingest, normalize, and index large volumes of government and enterprise data.
- Create retrieval pipelines using embeddings to search and reason across thousands of documents.
- Solve entity resolution challenges across messy, real-world datasets, including de-duping, merging, cleaning, and structuring data.
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering peers to deliver data-driven features.
- Own projects end-to-end, from technical design and implementation through deployment and iteration.
