ABOUT BUYWANDER</h3>
BuyWander is rebuilding the $850B retail returns industry&mdash;and turning it into something people actually love. We take chaotic, unstructured truckloads of returned goods and transform them into a fast, fun, treasure-hunt shopping experience powered by AI, real-time auctions, and local curbside pickup.
Think:<ul><li>
Entertainment meets eCommerce</li><li>
Treasure hunting meets Black Friday</li><li>
Physical supply chain meets Data Engineering</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
THE ROLE</h3>
We are hiring our first Head of Data &amp; AI.
You will not inherit clean systems, a mature data warehouse, or a team of analysts. You are coming in as a hands-on builder&mdash;a &quot;one-person army&quot; to start&mdash;tasked with building the entire data function from scratch. Once the foundation is laid and the high-leverage models are running, you will build and lead the team to scale it.
We are looking for a data &quot;mad scientist&quot; who is equal parts architect, quant, and business strategist. If you love taking messy, unstructured physical world data and turning it into marketplace liquidity, keep reading.<h3 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
WHAT YOU&rsquo;LL OWN (THE ROADMAP)</h3>
You will work directly with the CEO and CTO to execute on seven critical technical priorities:
1. The Core Data Platform (0 ? 1)<ul><li>
Design and build our modern data stack and pipelines from the ground up.</li><li>
Partner with Finance and Ops to standardize reporting and deliver a trusted, scalable data foundation across the company.</li></ul>
2. Auction Design &amp; Yield Optimization<ul><li>
This is the heartbeat of our business. You will use data and game theory to optimize our auction mechanics.</li><li>
Develop models and recommendations for starting bids, auction durations, bundling strategies, and dynamic pricing models to maximize yield and bid velocity.</li></ul>
3. User Demand &amp; Bidder Value (Product Analytics)<ul><li>
Analyze user behavior across the full journey (browse ? bid ? win ? pickup).</li><li>
Model Customer Lifetime Value (LTV), define &quot;Bidder Value,&quot; and identify exact friction points in the marketplace to drive retention.</li></ul>
4. Supply-Side Intelligence: Manifest Analysis<ul><li>
Build models that ingest messy, unstructured vendor manifests (CSVs, PDFs) to estimate yield and unit economics of a truckload and inform purchasing decisions.</li></ul>
5. Operations: Processing Analysis<ul><li>
Measure and optimize the physics of our warehouse. Track ingestion times, grading accuracy, and labor efficiency to ensure our cost-to-process remains the lowest in the industry.</li></ul>
6. Personalization &amp; Discovery Algorithms<ul><li>
Build the recommendation engines that power our &quot;For You&quot; feeds. Match the right weird, unique, or high-value item to the exact right bidder at the right time to drive auction intensity.</li></ul>
7. Applied GenAI &amp; AI Strategy<ul><li>
Act as the internal vanguard for AI adoption. You will monitor rapidly evolving AI trends, test new models, and drive the organization&rsquo;s AI strategy to ensure we maintain our technological edge.</li><li>
Hands-on execution: Design and deploy applied AI microservices, starting with initiatives like an autonomous LLM agent for personalized email outreach and lifecycle re-engagement.</li></ul>
Commercial Acumen: You understand that a beautiful model is useless if it doesn't increase margin or conversion. You think like a business owner.
Benefits<ul><li>
Competitive Salary and Performance-based Bonuses
</li><li>Meaningful equity in a company attacking a massive market, for a brand that can become nationally recognized
</li><li>Health, Vision &amp; Dental Insurance
</li><li>Unlimited PTO
</li><li>Annual Company Offsites
</li><li>401K</li></ul>
Requirements:
<h3 class="jobSectionHeader">WHAT YOU BRING</h3><ul><li>
Experience: 7+ years in data science, analytics, or ML engineering roles, with a proven track record of stepping into 0 ? 1 environments.</li><li>
The Hacker Mentality: You are highly proficient in SQL, Python, and the modern data stack (e.g., dbt, Snowflake/BigQuery). You don't wait for tickets; you write scripts to figure it out.</li><li>
AI-Forward: You aren't just reading about LLMs; you are actively using commercial APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) or open-source models to build internal workflows and agents.</li></ul>
BuyWander is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We make employment decisions based on qualifications, skills, merit, and business needs. We believe a range of skills, perspectives, and experiences strengthens our team and supports better outcomes for our employees and customers.</div>

<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">Senior Software Engineer (Search &amp; Personalization)</h1>
Location: Seattle, WA Type: Full-Time | Engineering<h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
ABOUT BUYWANDER</h3>
BuyWander is rebuilding the $850B retail returns industry. We take chaotic truckloads of returned goods and transform them into a fast, fun, treasure-hunt shopping experience powered by AI, real-time auctions, and local pickup.
We&rsquo;re not just building a marketplace. We&rsquo;re building a daily habit.<h3 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
THE ROLE</h3>
We are looking for a highly product-minded Senior Software Engineer to own our Search and Personalization experience.
With the rapid advancement of AI coding agents (like Claude Code and Cursor), the way we build across the stack has completely changed. We aren't hiring you to spend your days writing boilerplate UI components. We are hiring you for your architectural brain and product sense.
Your mandate is to build the discovery engine that keeps our users addicted to the &quot;treasure hunt.&quot; You will partner with our Data &amp; AI team to take raw recommendation models and turn them into lightning-fast, highly personalized consumer experiences.<h3 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
WHAT YOU&rsquo;LL OWN</h3>
1. The Discovery &amp; Personalization Engine<ul><li>
Design and implement the architecture for our &quot;For You&quot; feeds.</li><li>
Blend rules-based logic with ML-driven recommendations to ensure the right weird, unique, or high-value item hits the exact right bidder at the right time.</li></ul>
2. Search Optimization<ul><li>
Own our core search infrastructure (Elastic Cloud / Pinecone).</li><li>
Implement hybrid search (keyword + vector), tune ranking weights, and build typo-tolerance and synonym matching so our buyers always find what they are looking for.</li></ul>
3. Measuring Success &amp; Experimentation<ul><li>
You don't just ship features; you measure them. You will design the A/B testing framework for our search ranking changes.</li><li>
Track click-through rates (CTR), bid velocity, and conversion metrics to definitively prove your search tweaks are making the company money.</li></ul>
4. AI-Assisted Product Development<ul><li>
Use modern AI coding tools to rapidly wire your backend search APIs into our Vue/Nuxt frontend.</li><li>
Focus your deep thinking on system design, database queries, and user flows, while leveraging AI agents to accelerate UI execution.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT</h3>
At most companies, you are handed a Jira ticket and told exactly what to build. Here, you are handed a business problem: &quot;Our bidders are having trouble finding niche electronics in our chaotic inventory&mdash;fix it.&quot;
You will have the autonomy to design the search logic, test the algorithms, and ship the product experience that solves that problem. If you love building systems that directly drive user addiction and marketplace revenue, let's talk.
Benefits<ul><li>
Competitive Salary and Performance-based Bonuses
</li><li>Meaningful equity in a company attacking a massive market, for a brand that can become nationally recognized</li><li>
Health, Vision &amp; Dental Insurance
</li><li>Unlimited PTO
</li><li>Annual Company Offsites
</li><li>401K</li></ul>
Requirements:<h3 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
</h3><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
WHAT YOU BRING</h3><ul><li>
The Tech Stack: Deep backend proficiency (we use C#/Python/FastAPI) and a solid understanding of modern frontend frameworks (we use Vue/Nuxt/Vercel).</li><li>
Search Expertise: Proven experience tuning search engines (Elasticsearch, Algolia, or OpenSearch) and familiarity with modern Vector databases (Pinecone).</li><li>
Product Sense: You think in terms of user psychology and metrics. You understand concepts like collaborative filtering, session-based recommendations, and ranking algorithms.</li><li>
The Modern Workflow: You are highly proficient in using AI developer tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude) to multiply your output.</li></ul>
