Help build the personalized provider-recommendation pipeline end to end: user understanding with LLMs, provider retrieval and ranking, backstage agent workflows, multi-source knowledge integration, and evaluation, working with engineers and product managers from design through launch.

What you'd do

Provider retrieval and ranking: combine semantic search, recommendation algorithms, and provider features (capabilities, coverage, transaction-backed reputation, user fit) to improve relevance and coverage
Agent workflows: build backstage pipelines connecting intent understanding, retrieval, provider comparison, and recommendation decisions, with explanations a user can check
Multi-source data and knowledge integration: entity matching across business information, reviews, credentials, and service coverage
Evaluation and delivery: build evaluation datasets, analyze failure cases and user feedback, improve quality, reliability, and latency; ship and iterate

What they want

Pursuing a bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, AI, or a related field.
Proficient in Python or Java with solid data structures and algorithms.
Hands-on experience developing LLM applications or agents (RAG, agent workflows, evaluation harnesses).
Understanding of search, recommendation, or ML fundamentals.
