Role Description We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to step in as the primary owner of the Search & Discovery domain at PMG . In this role, you won't just be executing tasks; you will be the main person driving this area forward—responsible for both: - Defining the strategic roadmap - Executing the code that brings it to life This role touches the absolute core of our marketplace experience. You will take charge of how millions of users navigate our platforms, directly optimizing: - Search relevance - Ranking algorithms - Filtering - Auto-complete While laying the groundwork for the future of AI-driven semantic search. We're looking for someone who actively uses AI tools as part of their daily workflow: - Using LLMs to accelerate development - Exploring AI-powered tooling for testing - Staying genuinely curious about how AI can revolutionize user discovery We expect roughly 6 years of engineering experience, a background that balances technical execution with product ownership, and a mindset that sees AI as a multiplier, not a buzzword. Qualifications - Entrepreneurial, open mindset - Strong JavaScript/TypeScript proficiency - Genuine enthusiasm for AI-assisted development Requirements - Domain Ownership: Ability to take a high-level product vision, translate it into a concrete technical roadmap, and execute it independently. - Core Search Experience: Direct experience building and optimizing core search functionalities, specifically around ranking systems, advanced filtering, indexing, and query relevance. - Search Technologies: Hands-on experience working with search engines like Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or Algolia to build fast, high-traffic query interfaces. - Full-Stack Delivery: Strong experience building scalable web applications with TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, and React. - Data & Architecture: Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL), data modeling, and GraphQL usage in large systems. - AI-Driven Workflow: Active use of AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) in your day-to-day engineering work. Benefits - Join a rapidly growing, already-profitable business with a clear vision and genuine energy. - Full ownership of a mission-critical domain—you define the search & discovery roadmap at PMG. - A diverse team across Sweden, Germany, Austria, UK, Poland, Portugal, Bosnia, Croatia, Ukraine, and Egypt. - A real opportunity to shape our search architecture — and to help define how AI becomes part of how we build. - Competitive compensation and great benefits (remote or in-person).
