Required Skills: •Own search quality end to end. Set the vision, roadmap, and OKRs for search, and stay accountable for relevance, ranking, and recall so users and agents reliably surface the right contracts and clauses. •Turn understanding into precise retrieval. Translate structured contract understanding into high-recall, high-precision queries across a customer's entire repository, and close the loop so richer understanding continuously raises search quality. •Own extraction quality end to end. Stay accountable for extraction accuracy, depth, and coverage from import through export, including long documents, multi-agreement detection, and bulk extraction. •Model the relationships in a contract. Move from flat properties to a connected representation that captures clauses, topics, intra- and inter-contract relationships, and negotiation history, so search and agents reason relationally and with high recall. •Build the data once, serve it everywhere. Define the APIs, schemas, and developer experience that let every client team, starting with search, build on a single, consistent understanding service. •Own the AI quality flywheel. Build the datasets, evals, production metrics, regression gates, and feedback loops that separate benchmark scores from real production quality across search and extraction. •Lead through influence. Make consequential technical calls (retrieval architecture, model choices, vendors, build-versus-buy) and align engineering, design, data, executives, and partners around clear decisions and accountable execution. Qualifications: •Deep experience shipping production search or information retrieval products, and production AI/ML, developer platform, or data infrastructure products. •Practical fluency with retrieval and ranking, LLM systems, extraction, APIs, data models, evaluation methods, latency, and cost. •Exceptional quantitative judgment, including the ability to reason about search relevance and recall, and to build offline benchmark performance from production traces. •Platform instincts at scale: you solve immediate needs while extracting durable, shared capabilities that many teams depend on. •A history of owning customer-facing outcomes and deep infrastructure in the same mandate. •Enterprise-product judgment that incorporates trust, scale, and compliance. •Demonstrated ability to influence and align executives, and to raise the bar for the PMs and engineers around you. •Base Salary Range: $252,000 - $315,000; offers company bonus •100% health coverage for employees (medical, dental, and vision), and 75% coverage for dependents with buy-up plan options available •Market-leading leave policies, including gender-neutral parental leave and compassionate leave Compensation: •$252,000 - $315,000 / year •Base Salary Range: $252,000 - $315,000; offers company bonus Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
