Day to Day

Our team builds how employers and job seekers talk to each other on Indeed. Millions of conversations begin here every week, across both sides of the marketplace. We own these experiences end to end, from the interface through the services behind it. Our front end is React and TypeScript, our mobile surfaces use React Native, and our services are Java.

You will spend most of your time in product code, shaping interfaces people use every day. AI coding assistants are part of our everyday workflow, not a side experiment. You will use them to move faster and to raise the quality of what we ship. We test our work through experiments, read the results, and adjust. You will partner daily with product managers, designers, data scientists, and other engineers.
