E-commerce (ecom) is one of the strategic development directions for Search and the search portal. We are developing ecom scenarios in Search and new products, and we need high-quality and effective tools for content promotion.

Our group develops advertising ecom scenarios and is closely integrated with the banner system — the heart of Yandex advertising technologies. Advertising services process hundreds of thousands of requests per second with an SLA of a few hundred milliseconds. A major challenge for us is optimizing mature advertising pipelines for ecom formats and developing new promotion mechanics: enriching search results, end-to-end ranking, new advertising products.

Join us if you want to develop advertising and ecom together!
