Day to Day

This role focuses on Relevance Intelligence that is measuring and improving how well Indeed matches job seekers to the relevant jobs. It is the signal that powers ranking, sourcing, bidding, and quality measurement, and it's one of the most experiment-heavy domains at Indeed.

You'll own analyses end to end: framing the question, defining success metrics and guardrails, running experiments, separating real causal effect from noise, and building the LLM-as-a-judge systems that measure relevance at scale. We're looking for someone who loves statistics itself: experimentation, causal inference, and metric development are central to the work; and who wants that rigour to directly shape what millions of job seekers experience.
