It’s the first screen millions of consumers see every day, and since every session starts there, it’s the highest-leverage surface in the consumer funnel: a more personalized recommendation, a faster render, or a cleaner layout can move the metrics the whole company watches. The Homepage spans restaurants, grocery, and emerging verticals across iOS, Android, and Web. We’re rebuilding it around LLM-generated recommendations, shifting discovery from static, rules-based feeds to generative, intent-driven experiences that respond to real-time signals in the moment. About the Role You will lead and grow a team of product-focused full stack engineers, owning both the product and technical direction for the discovery surface - deciding where discovery goes next and how it’s built. You’ll set the roadmap and drive execution alongside Product, Design, Data Science, and ML/Recommendation Platform partners, and you’ll own the quality, velocity, and consumer impact your team ships. It’s a role with real ownership and the room to grow both the product and the team behind it.
