About the Role
- Apply state-of-the-art machine learning and LLM techniques to problems across personalization, query understanding, user and content understanding.
- Rigorously evaluate ML and LLM models using a combination of offline analysis and online experimentation, designing metrics and experiments that clearly measure quality, impact, and tradeoffs.
- Own the full model lifecycle from research to production, including data analysis, model development, evaluation, offline and online A/B testing, and continuous iteration.
- Partner closely with product managers, data scientists, and designers to ensure AI-driven systems deliver meaningful, user-facing improvements.
- Stay at the forefront of ML and AI innovation by assessing emerging research and translating promising approaches into scalable, production-ready systems.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Own impactful ML systems: Build and improve models that directly have a large impact on top and bottom line financials.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with engineering, analytics, product, and operations to iterate quickly, moving models from prototype to production
- Shape the future: We're one of the fastest growing Ads platforms in the world and we're looking to take that even further!
We’re excited about you because you have…
- 5+ years of experience building, deploying, and scaling ML and AI models for large-scale, user-facing or data-intensive products.
- Proficiency in using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) in the full software development lifecycle, including designing, generating code, testing, monitoring and releasing software
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Deep expertise in one or more of the following areas: deep learning, large language models, information retrieval, ranking and relevance, recommendation systems, natural language processing, or content understanding.
- Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or C++, with hands-on experience using ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or XGBoost.
- Extensive experience across the full ML lifecycle, including data analysis, feature engineering, iterative model development, rigorous offline and online evaluation, and ongoing monitoring and improvement.
- Strong collaborator and communicator who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
- Product-minded and impact-driven, with a passion for applying cutting-edge ML and AI techniques to real-world problems.
Bonus Points For
- Experience designing and deploying LLM-based systems, including prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, Generative RecSys.
- Experience solving large-scale, user-centric and content-centric personalization problems, including user modeling, retrieval, ranking, and relevance.
- Demonstrated contributions to the ML community through open-source projects, publications, or applied research in areas such as ML, NLP, information retrieval, or related fields.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Design and implement highly scalable, fault tolerant distributed database solutions using Taulu, Apache Cassandra, Redis, Kafka, and other paved path storage solutions.
- Architect and optimize multi-region, globally distributed systems to meet our high standards for availability, latency, and throughput.
- Lead data modeling, performance tuning, and capacity planning for large-scale, mission-critical storage workloads.
- Partner with product engineering and infrastructure teams to deeply understand domain specific data needs and guide them in adopting paved path storage solutions.
- Serve as the DRI for solutioning engagements, owning modeling in Taulu from experimentation through launch and scale.
- Shape the evolution of Taulu by identifying abstraction gaps and converting customer feedback into platform improvements.
- Apply workload-aware design patterns, including caching strategies, partitioning, and consistency tuning to improve performance and efficiency.
- Drive adoption of operational best practices across observability, schema design, capacity planning, and cost optimization across storage systems.
- Promote clarity and continuity by contributing to solutioning playbooks, decision logs, and architectural documentation.
We’re excited about you because…
- You have 10+ years of experience designing and scaling distributed data systems, with deep expertise in NoSQL technologies like Apache Cassandra, DynamoDB, or ScyllaDB.
- You have a strong command of distributed system concepts such as replication, partitioning, tunable consistency, and failure recovery.
- You’ve led data modeling efforts for high-throughput, low-latency workloads and understand the real-world trade-offs involved in NoSQL schema design.
- You are experienced with caching technologies like Redis or Memcached and know how to layer them effectively over storage systems to optimize for performance and cost.
- You have a customer-first mindset, and thrive when working closely with product and platform teams to translate complex requirements into clean, scalable data models.
- You are skilled at communicating complex architecture decisions and building alignment across infrastructure and product engineering organizations.
- You have a track record of mentoring engineers, influencing data architecture at scale, and fostering best practices in reliability, observability, and data access patterns.
- You document decisions, share learnings, and take pride in contributing to reusable playbooks and durable frameworks for others to build upon.
- Bonus: You’ve worked on or contributed to open-source distributed databases.
