About Us

At You.com, we are building the AI Search Infrastructure that powers modern AI systems. Our goal is to create the trusted knowledge layer that agents, applications, and enterprises rely on to retrieve real-time, accurate, and citation-backed information.

Our platform combines proprietary vertical indexes with LLM-optimized retrieval systems to power AI agents, applications, and enterprise workflows. We are solving hard problems across search, large language models, and large-scale infrastructure to make AI systems more reliable, transparent, and useful.

Our team includes engineers, researchers, product builders, and operators who care about solving meaningful problems and delivering real-world impact. Whether you are improving core infrastructure, shaping product experiences, or helping bring new AI capabilities to market, your work will help define how modern AI finds and uses knowledge.

you.com is an AI Infrastructure company and designed to empower customers with the highest quality search and AI tools. At you.com, we are on a mission to create the most helpful search engine in the world—one that prioritizes transparency, privacy, and user control.

We’re building a team of innovators, problem-solvers, and visionaries who are passionate about shaping the future of AI and technology.

About the Role

As a Search Engineer at You.com, you will blend deep analytical thinking with practical engineering skills to investigate, develop, and implement novel solutions for our search indexing systems. Your work will focus on advancing the core technology that powers our search engine, ensuring that our index is comprehensive, up-to-date, and optimized for speed and relevance. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate complex research into practical, scalable applications.

This is a remote position open to candidates based in the United States. We also have co-working spaces in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York.

Responsibilities

Design and Implement Scalable Indexing Systems: Architect, prototype, and maintain efficient, robust, and distributed indexing pipelines for web-scale data.
Advance Search Retrieval/Ranking: Research and apply state-of-the-art methods (NLP, ranking, ML) to improve index quality, freshness, and retrieval performance.
Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with data engineers, ML engineers, and product teams to integrate novel features and user signals into the search systems.
Profound love for Speed and Efficiency: Profile and optimize indexing workflows for low latency and high throughput.
Evaluate and Benchmark: Define success metrics, run experiments, and analyze results to guide development and measure impact.
Stay Current: Keep up with the latest research in information retrieval, large language models, and distributed systems—bringing fresh ideas to You.com’s search stack.

Qualifications

Proven experience in search indexing, information retrieval, or large-scale data systems.
Strong programming skills in Rust/ C++ (for high performance) and Python
Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems.
Experience with experimental design, prototyping, and translating research into production.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Practical experience equivalent or equal to a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

Our salary bands are structured based on a combination of geographic tiers and internal leveling. Compensation is determined by multiple factors assessed during the interview process, with the final offer reflecting these considerations.
