Who We Are

Yieldmo is an advertising platform that helps brands invent creative experiences through tech and AI, using custom ad formats, proprietary attention signals, predictive format selection, and privacy-safe premium inventory curation. We believe all ads should be human-centered, tailored, and provoke emotion and action. Yieldmo helps brands deliver the best ad for every impression opportunity, merging creative and media for proven results.

The Role

We're hiring a Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer (5–10 years of experience) to help build Yieldmo's AI-powered search engine, which will change how users discover and engage with content across major publishers. This is a full-stack role with a strong ML component. You'll build backend services and ML-powered features, and ship the user-facing interfaces that bring them to life.

We care most about builders: engineers who write production code, iterate quickly, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and own their work end to end.

What You'll Do

- Design, build, and operate backend services and APIs that power AI-driven search, including retrieval, ranking, and indexing components.

- Build and deploy ML features into production: embeddings, vector search, RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, and model evaluation.

- Develop responsive, performant front-end experiences that surface search results and AI features to users and internal teams.

- Build and maintain data and content ingestion pipelines that feed the search system.

- Own features end to end, from prototype through production, monitoring, and iteration.

- Partner with Product, ML, and Engineering teams to turn requirements into shipped features.





- Drive quality, performance, and reliability for the services you own, including testing, code reviews, and observability.

- Share knowledge and support teammates; senior engineers will mentor others and contribute to technical design decisions.

Requirements

- Must be based in India.

- 5–10 years of skilled software engineering experience, building and operating production systems.

- Strong backend skills in Python, with solid SQL and experience designing APIs and microservices.

- Hands-on front-end experience with a modern framework (React preferred) plus JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.

- Practical ML experience in production: working with embeddings, vector databases, LLMs, RAG, or ranking/recommendation models.

- Experience with Docker, cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), and CI/CD.

- Strong fundamentals in data structures, system design, and testing.

- Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort working cross-functionally in a fast-moving, remote team.

- An ownership mindset: you ship, measure, and improve.

Nice to Haves

- Deeper ML/AI backend experience: model serving, fine-tuning, training pipelines, or online/offline evaluation.

- Experience building search or retrieval systems (inverted indexes, BM25,



hybrid search, rerankers).

- Familiarity with data tools such as Kafka, Spark, Airflow, or a modern data warehouse.

- Experience with publisher-scale content, recommendation systems, or adtech.
