Backend Developer in Search

Every day, Search helps millions of people solve life's tasks: from choosing a doctor to buying an apartment. One of our key areas is financial products: mortgages, deposits, insurance, and cards.

We have already built a powerful system for data collection and aggregation, creating convenient tools for choosing the best offers on the market. Now we are moving to a new stage. We face ambitious challenges: to teach Search to answer complex, multi-layered user queries and to implement smart monetization that will organically complement, not disrupt, the user experience.

In the era of flourishing large language models, we are creating an intelligent financial assistant that will help users navigate the abundance of offers. One of the ambitious areas of our work is integration into Alisa. We strive to ensure that, thanks to our knowledge base and intelligent agents, Alisa can deeply analyze financial products and help users find the best solutions.

We are looking for backend developers who will develop scenarios for searching financial products, as well as solve infrastructure and optimization tasks within one of Yandex's main products.

What tasks await you

Work in Search We develop within the large microservice architecture of Search. You will need to solve optimization and acceleration tasks, ensure the stability and quality of our data, and build services capable of withstanding high loads and solving the tasks of millions of users.

Working with data We take data for our products from various partners: banks, analytics companies, exchanges. You will implement and maintain various integration options with partners. You will face tasks of speeding up data acquisition and delivery, validation and testing, before showing it to our users.

Developing user scenarios We want to make our users happy and bring value to Yandex. You will create and develop new products in the financial sphere, improve the quality and efficiency of searching for offers, train ML models to make decisions about showing our blocks and selecting their position, as well as integrate neural networks into the processes of preparing answers to user queries.
