Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'Search Relevance Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the compensation range ($161,300–$274,200/yr) and scope of work (designing platform/tooling, owning ranking experiments, cross-functional partnerships) support a Senior-level assessment.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends software engineering (building ranking/platform systems) with data science (ML-based ranking models, NLP, query log analysis). 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverables are engineering artifacts — ranking features, algorithm frameworks, and tooling — rather than statistical modeling or research.
Golang is listed under a 'Nice to Have' section and is marked as preferred accordingly.
The posting mentions 'flexible, remote, or required in office' work personas but does not commit to a fully remote arrangement; remote is set to false.
Location context is ServiceNow/Moveworks (San Diego HQ), though the posting does not specify a single city for this role. San Diego, CA CBSA is used as the primary location based on company headquarters.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): query log analysis.
