- Own the modeling life cycle end-to-end including feature creation, model development and deployment, experimentation, monitoring and explainability, and model maintenance.
- Develop production machine learning solutions for batch and real-time to provide the world-class merchant experience.
We’re excited about you because you have…
- 5+ years of industry experience developing machine learning models with business impact, and shipping ML solutions to production.
- M.S. or PhD in Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Math, Operations Research, Physics, or other quantitative fields.
- Expertise in applied ML for computer vision, NLP, deep learning, embeddings, and LLMs. Additional familiarity with experimentation and graph-based models!
- Ability to communicate technical details to non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong machine learning background in Python; experience with Spark, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.
- Familiarity with Kotlin/Scala.
- You keep the mission in mind, take ideas and help them grow using data and rigorous testing, show evidence of progress and then double down.
