Your Job

The Core Matching team’s mission is to enable matches between jobseekers and jobs, leading to interviews and hires, with the world’s highest-quality job recommendations. To achieve this, we leverage Indeed’s rich data to build machine learning models for our recommendation engines. We work closely with teams in Tokyo, Singapore, Austin, and Seattle. We use various techniques related to information retrieval, ranking, deep learning, and NLP, and our engine powers multiple major Indeed products. Also, we come from diverse backgrounds, spanning many nationalities from all over the world.

We focus on innovating on the way people get jobs and employers hire people. What if employers can locate qualified candidates within a few hours of job posting and start conversations with them? What if jobseekers get to know of the opening of their dream job right after it’s posted on the web and get hired within a few days? We develop recommendation engine using various data with machine learning to show jobseekers matched with jobs while also helping employers find the right candidates quickly.

You're someone who wants to see the impact of your work making a difference every day. You understand how to use data to make decisions and how to train others to do so. You find passion in the craft and are constantly seeking improvement and better ways to solve tough problems. You produce the highest quality machine learning solutions and lead others to do the same. You have delivered challenging technical solutions at scale. You are equally happy talking about deep learning and statistical inference, as you are brainstorming about practical experimental design and technology career development. You love being in the mix technically while providing leadership to your teams.

As a Senior Data Scientist on the team, you will:

• Build highly scalable and performant recommendation systems and technologies that can identify best matches between millions of jobs and millions of job seekers in real-time
• Experiment with POC ML model improvements, scale them to production, and run iterative AB experiments to improve our matching technology
• Represent Indeed at major ML conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR
• Break down larger ML initiatives into pieces that deliver incremental business value and execute them
