About PowerMatch

PowerMatch is a fast-growing recruitment agency using smart automation and matching logic to connect skilled workers with the right companies. We’re building a platform that takes the manual headache out of recruitment and helps companies hire faster — and better.

We’ve already mapped out a powerful rule-based matching engine — now we’re looking for the engineer who can bring it to life and evolve it using real-world feedback.

Your Role

You’ll be responsible for building, scaling, and improving our matching engine — a backend service that calculates how well a candidate fits a job based on tasks, experience, and location. You’ll also help us collect structured feedback and lay the foundation for machine learning-based improvements over time.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and optimize our matching algorithm (PowerMatch Algo 1.0):
• Develop clean and testable backend services (Node.js or Python preferred)
• Design data models and APIs to deliver candidate-job scores
• Collaborate with product owner and frontend devs to integrate the logic into our recruiter dashboard
• Store match outcomes and feedback data for future learning
• (Future) Help train basic ML models to adjust scoring or predict fit

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years backend development experience
• Strong in Node.js or Python (or both)
• Proven experience with custom algorithms or rule engines
• Solid understanding of data modeling and relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Familiarity with basic machine learning concepts:
• Supervised learning, feature engineering, feedback loops
• Experience with Python ML libraries (e.g. scikit-learn, pandas, XGBoost, etc.)
• Bonus: Experience in recruitment tech, HR platforms, or logistics

What We Offer

• Competitive salary (in USD)
• Long-term, product-focused role — not project-based
• Freedom to own the system logic and grow with the platform
• Work directly with founder/product owner
• A clear roadmap from rules → data → intelligent matching

How to apply

We’re testing something new — so your application will go through our AI platform, Jaspi. It only takes a few minutes: you’ll start with a brief chat screening, followed by a live AI-led interview.

Jaspi is still in beta, so if you run into any issues, feel free to reach out directly to Las Sabir on LinkedIn — and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.
