As a Product Manager on the Search team, you'll take on one of the most consequential rebuilds at Nextdoor. Search is the most explicit statement of intent a neighbor makes on the platform, and most searches aren't commercial at all: a lost-pet post, a neighbor's name, a school thread from last week, and sometimes a plumber.

Responsibilities

  • Build the missing foundation first: define the metric that tells us whether a neighbor found what they came for, and make it the measure every experiment and ship call answers to. It does not exist today, and it's the most important thing you'll deliver in your first six months
  • Own the Search rebuild end to end, organic and monetized together, from query understanding and retrieval to ranking, result quality, and how the page comes together
  • Partner with dedicated data science and ML engineering on query understanding, retrieval, and ranking, going deep on the mechanics when the details matter
  • Design how organic and sponsored content blend on the page, including placement, ad load, relevance thresholds, and monetization-eligibility routing, so paid results appear only where a business is the genuine answer
