The Team
The Search and Discovery Product Team is responsible for creating a world class search and discovery shopping experience for our customers, from "intent" based shopping to delighting the customer with serendipitous product discovery on every visit.
We are obsessed with optimizing the entire search customer journey, from query
understanding and search relevance to personalized and category/mission aware search and recommendation experiences. We believe the experience for finding the right fresh groceries delivered to your door the next morning, should be personal and different from shopping for a new laptop or your next pair of jeans. Search and
Recommendations drive over 70% of product discovery for our millions of daily
customers, so the scale and impact of our work is massive!
The Role
With the latest advances in AI/ML, we have the opportunity to rethink the traditional
search stack to deliver unique high-quality experiences to our customers that were
traditionally outside the realm of possibility. This Search Product Leader role will be a
hand on role with the potential of building out a team of product managers focusing on
Search ML stack.
