What you will do
Luigi’s Box handles millions of searches each day. Our philosophy is to provide a search engine that works without complicated setups. Our customers do not need to be search experts, that’s what we are here for. It requires lots of AI/ML models, intelligent analysis, lots of search strategies, data pre-processing and transformation, lots of offline testing and digging through reports.
- Your job will be to contribute to this process and systematically, step by step, phrase by phrase improve the search.
- You will work on challenging tasks to improve our search. Your tasks can be, for example:
- Upgrade to a newer version of Elasticsearch, or another technology other than elastic
- Resolve client problems. E.g. the phrase xy throws the wrong results in the search. You will figure out how to fix it.
- Imagine that you will come up with some nice ideas on how to improve our ranking (because anyone can bring new ideas to the table at Luigi’s Box) and we will decide to give it a shot. That also means that you will have to figure out how to turn your idea into a production-ready solution.
- We’ll make sure you learn how Luigi’s Box search works. You´ll begin with more simple cases and progress to more complex ones where you will systematically develop the search.
