Key responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimize scalable search capabilities using Java or similar C-style languages.

  • Build and evolve platform services, APIs, and extensibility mechanisms that enable search capabilities across multiple products.

  • Analyze existing services and contribute to the architecture of new platform capabilities to improve scalability, reliability, and performance.

Job description

Build the future of intelligent search

Why build just another backend service when you can shape the search technology powering an entire product ecosystem? As a Senior Software Developer on our Search team, you'll help evolve Coveo's search capabilities, delivering intelligent, scalable search experiences to thousands of organizations around the world.

You'll tackle high-impact technical challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, search technology, platform engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI). Whether your expertise is in C++ or Java, you'll help build the next generation of search experiences that power Coveo's products.

As one of our Senior Software Developers, Search, you will: 

  • Design, develop, and optimize scalable search capabilities using Java or similar C-style languages.
  • Build and evolve platform services, application programming interfaces (APIs), and extensibility mechanisms that enable search capabilities across multiple Coveo products.
  • Contribute to the integration, evolution, and optimization of large-scale search technologies that support our growing product ecosystem.
  • Improve interoperability between Coveo's platform and complementary search technologies or external systems.
  • Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Architects, Data Scientists, and Software Developers to deliver impactful search solutions.
  • Analyze existing services and contribute to the architecture of new platform capabilities that improve scalability, reliability, and performance.

Here is what will qualify you for the role:

  • 5+yrs of professional software development experience using Java or similar C-family languages.
  • Experience designing and delivering scalable, reusable, high-quality software within a complex platform or product environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate multiple technologies and system boundaries.
  • A collaborative mindset, strong ownership, curiosity, and a continuous desire to learn and improve.

What would make you stand out:

  • Experience working with large-scale search technologies such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Vespa, or similar platforms.
  • Experience building backend services, application programming interfaces (APIs), developer platforms, or product integrations.
  • Experience with distributed systems and large-scale cloud-native applications.
  • Knowledge of information retrieval, indexing, query execution, vector search, or artificial intelligence (AI)-powered search technologies.

Do you think you can bring this role to life? Or add your own color? You don't need to check every single box; passion goes a long way and we appreciate that skillsets are transferable.
