Why Housecall Pro?
Help us build solutions that build better lives. At Housecall Pro, we show up to work every day to make a difference for real people: the home service professionals that support America’s 100 million homes. We’re all about the Pro, and dedicate our days to helping them streamline operations, scale their businesses, and—ultimately—save time so they can be with their families and live well. We care deeply about our customers and foster a culture where our company, employees, and Pros grow and succeed together. Leadership is as focused on growing team members’ careers as they expect their teams to be on creating solutions for Pros. We also offer:
As a Senior Product Manager I, Search Platform, you are the lead architect of the infrastructure that powers search experiences across HCP. This is a high-impact platform role where your primary customers are internal domain teams, and your success is measured by the speed and quality with which they can build, ship, and evolve sophisticated search experiences. You operate with a dual perspective: strategizing for an elite developer experience while maintaining a relentless focus on Pro outcomes. You don't just manage a roadmap; you build the long-term vision for search infrastructure, ensuring it scales, evolves, and remains a competitive advantage for the entire organization. You are a key influencer across the Product and Engineering teams, guiding how we leverage retrieval technologies to solve complex business problems at scale.
Our team is passionate, empathetic, hard working, and above all else focused on improving the lives of our service professionals (our Pros). Our success is their success.
