Software Engineer
About this role
Join our newly formed AI Product Discovery team and work closely with skilled developers in building the next-generation search experience within Voyado Elevate.
Voyado Elevate already has a powerful and proven search engine. Now, we are adding an intelligent layer on top, an AI-driven Product Discovery Agent for Search that transforms how users interact with products, navigation, and intent.
As a new team, you will be part of shaping our ways of working, defining our architecture, and setting the technical roadmap for how AI agents should integrate with and enhance our search platform.
About the Role and day-to-day
This role sits at the intersection of backend development, AI engineering, and product innovation.
As a subsystem team in an organization inspired by Team Topologies, we collaborate closely with other product teams while owning the AI Product Discovery layer. Our mission is to build intelligent agents that orchestrate search recommendations and navigation, interpret user intent, and create a completely new discovery interface experience.
The role involves hands-on development, writing code primarily in Java and/or Python, and designing and orchestrating AI agents. You will work with prompt engineering and structured output optimization to ensure high-quality, reliable results, while building smart integrations between LLMs and our search engine.
A key part of the work is continuously improving response times and reducing inference costs to create scalable and efficient solutions. You will also contribute to the technical roadmap and architectural decisions, proactively prototype new ideas, and evaluate emerging AI technologies to ensure we stay at the forefront of innovation.
Some things will vary depending on product needs and experiments. Some things are constant:
Some of the things you and the team will be up to:
Design and build AI agents for search and product discovery, using Java and/or Python.
