Description

Lead Software Engineer, Search and Discovery

At Poshmark, search systems are the foundation upon which many other features are built, including showrooms, parties, email and more. Search connects millions of buyers and sellers every day, but how do we surface the precise listings our users are looking for from among the hundreds of millions of possibilities? Poshmark is a challenging environment for search because our content is entirely user-generated. Our search needs to be able to perform effectively despite spam, incomplete listings, different ways to describe the same item, and an ever-changing catalog. We need your help to determine the best ways to improve search and build them.
