Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack

About Objective, Inc.
Our mission here at Objective is to make search human. We're a search platform that empowers developers to add search that understands human intent to any web or mobile app. We power modern search experiences! Everything from retail search for companies like Pod Foods, to image search for companies like Dribbble, to article search for huge news sites like The Information. We power the developers that power the next generation of content relevancy.
We're backed by Matrix Partners & Two Sigma Ventures, and our team are engineers and researchers from Apple, Google, Amazon (and other great companies) and have built some of the biggest ML & search systems in the world (that you've probably used!). Advances in AI and LLMs are changing the way the world searches, and Objective believes that powerful, modern AI-native search is a tool that should be in every developer's toolbelt.
We're a fully-remote company, and believe that we get the best out of each other when we have the flexibility that remote work gives us.The Role and You
You're a Senior Front End, Full Stack software engineer who's interested in being part of the customer-facing team that builds experiences for our users (Developers & Product Builders!). Some of those moments for users happen before they make an account, where we have opportunities to show, rather than tell, how Objective works. And you'll be part of the team that builds the "logged in" Console experience that our users depend on to build & operate their search. And then there are the user surfaces we're most excited about, that we can't talk about yet!
We love Python, React, and Next.js (Next 13-14 is particularly great). But we're always on the lookout for new stacks & frameworks that help the team stay nimble. If that sounds like you, you sound like us!
While experience in machine learning is appreciated, it's not a requirement for this role. You're the glue between our deep ML expertise on the team and our audience of web developers. We're looking for individuals who take ownership & pride in their work, and have a keen interest in AI and a constant hunger for learning.Main Responsibilities
