- Provide technical coaching and mentoring to engineers at any level.
What We’re Looking For
- Multiple years of experience in a Senior or Staff position, with expertise in designing and building large ML systems end-to-end.
- A strong track record in the development of ranking and recommendation systems.
- Experience working in highly automated, continuously deployed, and A/B tested environments, with knowledge of how to iterate on ranking systems and models within these systems.
- Advanced analytical thinking skills.
- A subject matter expert who is self-motivated, capable of creating and executing roadmaps, and able to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.
- Fluent English language skills are essential.
