Software Engineer II- Internal Only
About The Position
As a Software Engineer II on the Ranking Platform team, you will build and maintain the infrastructure behind Indeed's job ranking system, improving the system that decides the order of the jobs jobseekers see across job surfaces.

Alongside engineering, science, and site reliability partners, you'll help keep one of Indeed's most revenue-critical systems fast and reliable at significant scale. In this role, you'll participate in design and code reviews and use observability and verification tooling to confirm changes are correct and fast before they reach jobseekers.
