Software Engineer I

• We're taking autonomous search mainstream, making product discovery more intuitive and conversational for customers, and more profitable for businesses.
• We’re making conversational shopping a reality, connecting every shopper with tailored guidance and product expertise — available on demand, at every touchpoint in their journey.
• We're designing the future of autonomous marketing, taking the work out of workflows, and reclaiming the creative, strategic, and customer-first work marketers were always meant to do.

Our India team is a critical product development and innovation hub for the company, with many of the company’s key products and technology initiatives created and developed by this team. Bloomreach Search, our search and personalization product, was built and shipped out of our India office.

We are currently allowing flexibility for all our employees to work from home until it is deemed safe for us to return back to the office.
