Job Summary
What you'll be doing:
šDesign, build, and iterate AI and ML-powered ranking and relevance systems (including candidate generation, filtering, personalization, bandits, and learning-to-rank) that balance engagement, quality, and safety while meeting latency and reliability SLOs. šDevelop features and embeddings for users, content, graph, temporal, and safety signals; establish feature contracts, offline backfills, and online freshness. šStand up vector retrieval and RAG pipelines for semantic search, content understanding, and safety heuristics; tune retrieval quality, token/latency budgets, and evaluation. šBuild and operate online inference and batch scoring services for LLMs and ML models; optimize throughput, cost, caching, and autoscaling; introduce GPU-aware scheduling where appropriate. šPartner with Data Platform on data movement and pipelines (batch and streaming) that power ranking models and analytics; ensure data quality, lineage, documentation, and observability. šPartner with Data Science to frame metrics and hypotheses, design trustworthy experiments, analyze results, and productionize improvements. šProductionize models end-to-end (training, evaluation, versioning, registries, rollouts, shadowing/canary, rollback) with strong CI/CD and infra-as-code practices. šEstablish ML observability (data/feature drift, model performance, safety thresholds, online/offline eval, dashboards and alerting) to maintain quality over time. šCollaborate cross-functionally with product, design, platform/infra, safety, and CX to align on goals, roadmap, and risk management. šContribute to engineering excellence through documentation, code reviews, reliability improvements, and mentorship to junior engineers.
What we look for in you:
š3+ years of ML engineering or recommender-systems experience (or equivalent), including shipping production models and improving them iteratively. šStrong software engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Python and SQL; experience building reliable services and data pipelines at scale. šLLM and AI inference experience, including prompt/program design, evaluation frameworks, agentic workflows, or online performance optimization.
