  • Design embedding pipelines for products, images, text, categories, and user behavior.
  • Improve ranking, relevance, retrieval evaluation, and search quality metrics.
  • Deploy and monitor ML services, retrieval APIs, and ranking systems in production.
  • Optimize latency, scalability, reliability, and cost of ML-powered search systems.
  • Support LLM-powered search, query understanding, and conversational discovery experiences.
  • Build asynchronous and event-driven pipelines for search and ML workloads.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product, and business teams to turn AI ideas into production features. 

 

✅ What We Are Looking For

  • Strong Python and software engineering fundamentals.
  • Experience with search, recommendation, ranking, retrieval, or matching systems.
  • Practical understanding of embeddings, vector search, similarity search, and relevance optimization.

  • Search & Retrieval: semantic search, dense retrieval, hybrid search, query understanding, ranking, re-ranking, learning-to-rank, and relevance evaluation.
  • Embeddings & Vector Databases: embedding pipelines, ANN search, similarity matching, embedding versioning, and tools such as Pinecone, Milvus, Qdrant, Weaviate, FAISS, Elasticsearch, or OpenSearch.
  • MLOps: production ML APIs, monitoring, observability, model versioning, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS or GCP.
  • ML & NLP: transformer models, Hugging Face, fine-tuning, model evaluation, RAG, and LLM-powered search or conversational interfaces.
  • Data Engineering: SQL, batch or streaming pipelines, distributed task queues, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Celery, or similar systems.
  • Nice to Have: marketplace or e-commerce search experience, image embeddings, visual similarity, product matching, recommendations, personalization, and A/B testing. 

 

🎁 What We Offer

  • Hybrid working model
  • Competitive compensation package
  • The opportunity to work in a high-traffic environment (millions of users) where your code impacts the Greek e-commerce market daily.
