We are forming a new squad that is going to create a new way to search in our product – deeply reinventing is using AI, deeply understanding what the system is being asked to search for and couple it with great UX. You will work with terabytes of data, think deeply about how to design scalable, building systems critical for Justice system to work.

You will lead projects on a scalable and dynamic web system that supports integration with multiple search engines, state of the art AI models (think LLMs), work with vector and full text search, implementing embedding of 100s of millions of chunks and search through it. This is all using many of the newest, cloud-based technologies and new systems will be build in cloud-native way. You will build distributable systems composed of multiple databases, processing, and web servers within the massive data field.
