About the role

Who you are

  • 1-3 years of industry or research experience using machine learning to solve real-world problems, ideally including work in search, recommendations, or ads ranking
  • Hands-on experience with deep-learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch) and vector-search infrastructure (e.g., Faiss, ScaNN, Pinecone)
  • A strong track record of productionizing models that blend LLMs (e.g., BERT, GPT-class) with structured features to drive personalization
  • A product-focused mindset and a bias toward execution—you move quickly from paper to prototype to production
  • Strong Python skills, deep respect for system reliability and ownership, and experience operating in high-stakes environments
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional influence—you raise the technical bar beyond your immediate team
  • Contributions to open-source ML libraries or peer-reviewed publications in ML/AI
  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, or a related STEM field
