Job Description
About The Position |
As a Senior Software Engineer for personalization, you will own the design, development, and continuous improvement of the recommendation algorithm that powers the user's personalized product feed. You'll work with a rich dataset of user-saved products and a live ingestion pipeline pulling from thousands of retailer feeds to build a system that learns each user's unique preferences across brand, category, color, price point, and fit.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role. You will collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data teams to define what great personalization looks like — and then build it.
Remote or Hybrid 3x a month
In-office Expectations: This position offers remote work flexibility; however, if you reside within a commutable distance to one of our offices in New York, Des Moines, Birmingham, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Seattle, the expectation is to work from the office two days per week.

Our next-generation product discovery platform connects shoppers with the things they love across thousands of retail partners. Users save, organize, and share products they're excited about — and our platform turns those signals into a deeply personalized shopping experience. We ingest live product feeds from thousands of retailers and use a rich understanding of each user's taste to surface the right product at the right moment.
We're building the recommendation engine at the heart of this shopping experience — a system that understands not just what people save, but why they save it. This is a foundational hire that will shape how millions of users discover products they love.
