Your job.
At Indeed, we focus on creating innovative systems to help match job seekers and employers. We believe that job search is not just about skill matching. A Job seeker might want to change their industry or position, or they might look for new challenges overseas. That’s why we try so hard to understand the job seeker’s job search intent and interests from various data, not only their experience and skills.
The metadata team helps Indeed understand jobs and jobseekers. This typically means utilizing NLP techniques to identify, extract, and classify meaningful structured information from job descriptions and resumes. The team also organizes the information and makes it useful for every team at Indeed.
As a software engineering manager in search quality, metadata, you will provide hands-on leadership for a development team of 4-5 engineers and work closely with product managers (PM) and domain experts in Tokyo and in Austin,TX to create and prioritize the product roadmap. You will also help to refine and enhance the business strategy.
