Meet Your Future Neighbors
As a Principal Software Engineer at Nextdoor on the Feed Infra team, you’ll join the team of engineers, product managers, and data scientists that are responsible for building the feed technology, which is the foundation for cultivating a kinder world where everyone has a neighbor they can rely on. We are a small, high performing team of engineers that wear multiple hats and prioritize impact for our customers.

You will have the opportunity to learn from your co-workers and teach them. As a team, we will make each other better and build great software.
At Nextdoor, we offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment experience, providing a flexible experience for our valued employees.
The Impact You’ll Make
On the Feed Infrastructure team you’ll build high performing, scalable systems that power delivering each neighbor a customized feed in a timely and efficient manner. We utilize Python, Kotlin, and Go to build out various functionality we provide such as our Feed Ranking/ML pipeline, GraphQL API, and ancillary services. You’ll be in a highly visible role that will deliver a measurable impact on a core part of our application and Nextdoor as a business.
You’ll help lead the team in re-architecting our feed infrastructure with eyes towards the future while collaborating internally with product managers, data scientists, and other engineering leaders. We believe engineers should have a stake over all aspects of the product - from coming up with the next big ideas to build, through helping set expectations and plan roadmaps, all the way through understanding the impact of new features through rigorous data analysis. As your career at Nextdoor develops, you’ll also get the chance to grow your role towards what you’re most passionate about.
Your responsibilities will include:
What You’ll Bring To The Team
