Senior Software Engineer (Data Search)

Modash

Join Modash, a leading platform for discovering creators. As a Senior Software Engineer (Data Search), you will work on one of our core products, tackling complex search intent and large-scale data challenges. You will have real autonomy and the opportunity to make a significant impact on how customers discover creators across millions of profiles and billions of media files.

About Modash

  • Bonus points if you’ve worked with multimodal embeddings, vector databases, semantic search, ranking algorithms, model deployment, self-hosted models, or GPU infrastructure
  • Curiosity about the creator economy helps too, but we’ll get you up to speed

Responsibilities

  • Conception, architecture, implementation, release, measurement, and iteration of products from concept to production.
  • Collaboration with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, design architecture, and ensure successful product delivery.
  • Building and optimizing systems that generate and use embeddings from various media types at scale.
  • Communicated clearly across teams. You can explain technical tradeoffs to engineers and non-engineers, give direct feedback, and collaborate without creating unnecessary process
  • Designed distributed systems. You can reason clearly about throughput, failure modes, data flow, scalability, and operational tradeoffs

Requirements

  • Worked in a fast-moving product environment. You’re comfortable learning quickly, shipping incrementally, and changing direction when the evidence does
  • Shipped products from concept to production. You’ve owned scoping, architecture, implementation, release, measurement, and iteration—not just one layer of the solution
  • Worked autonomously on ambiguous problems. You know how to gather requirements, ask useful questions, and turn incomplete context into forward motion
  • Built large-scale data or backend products. You have solid experience working with systems where volume, latency, reliability, and cost all matter
  • Built LLM-powered or agentic features in production. You understand the practical differences between models and can balance capability against latency and cost
