The Content Understanding team builds machine learning models that "read" Pinterest content-images, text, and video-to produce high-quality semantic signals (e.g., embeddings, localization, quality/safety labels). These signals power relevance and retrieval for Homefeed, Search, Related Pins, and Ads, and also support integrity use cases like spam and low-quality detection. We work end-to-end: from data and labeling strategy, to model training and evaluation, to low-latency serving and monitoring at Pinterest scale. The role is ideal for a senior modeler who also enjoys developing, productionizing models and leading technical direction across teams.

What you'll do:

• 
  
• Lead modeling strategy for content understanding (vision, NLP, multimodal), including architecture selection, training approach, and evaluation methodology.
  
• Design and ship production models that generate content signals such as embeddings and classifications used across multiple product surfaces.
  
• Own the full ML lifecycle: data/labeling strategy (human labels + weak supervision), training pipelines, offline evaluation, online experimentation, deployment, and monitoring/retraining.
  
• Partner with infra/platform teams to ensure scalable, reliable training/serving (latency, cost, observability, rollout safety).
  
• Collaborate with signal-consuming teams (ranking, retrieval, integrity, ads) to define signal contracts, adoption patterns, and success metrics.
  
• Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and raising the quality bar for modeling and ML engineering practices.
  

What we're looking for:

• 
  
• M.S/ PhD degree in Computer Science, Statistics or related field.
  
• Significant industry experience building software and ML pipelines/systems, including technical leadership (project/tech lead or equivalent).
  
• Strong proficiency in Python and at least one ML stack such as PyTorch / TensorFlow, plus solid software engineering fundamentals.
  
• Proven experience training and deploying ML models to production, including model versioning, rollouts, monitoring, and retraining strategies.
  
• Deep hands-on experience in content understanding domains, such as:
  
  • 
    
  • computer vision (classification, detection, representation learning),
    
  • NLP (text classification, entity/topic modeling),
    
  • multimodal / embedding models (e.g., transformer-based representations).
    
  
  
• Experience working with large-scale datasets and distributed compute (e.g., Spark-like ecosystems, distributed training, GPU environments).
  
• Strong applied skills in evaluation and experimentation: defining metrics, offline/online alignment, A/B testing, debugging regressions, and model quality analysis.
  
• Demonstrated ability to influence across teams and drive ambiguous problem areas to measurable outcomes.
  

Relocation Statement:

tvScientific is the first and only CTV advertising platform purpose-built for performance marketers. We leverage massive data and cutting-edge science to automate and optimize TV advertising to drive business outcomes. Our solution combines media buying, optimization, measurement, and attribution in one, efficient platform. Our platform is built by industry leaders with a long history in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification who have now purpose-built a CTV performance platform advertisers can trust to grow their business.

As a Sr. Machine Learning Engineer at tvScientific, you'll build the ML and AI systems behind our Connected TV ad-buying platform: real-time bidding, campaign optimization, and incrementality measurement at scale. We're an adtech company solving a hard problem: making CTV advertising actually measurable. Our platform helps advertisers buy ads across the CTV ecosystem: Hulu, Pluto TV, Disney+, HBO Max, and hundreds of FAST channels: and prove that those ads drove real business outcomes.

What you'll do:

• 
  
• Write production Python that powers real-time bidding, model training, and campaign optimization
  
• Train, deploy, and monitor ML models that decide which ads to show, when, and at what price: millions of bid decisions per second

• Use LLMs and generative AI to build internal tools that accelerate how we develop, test, and ship ML systems
  
• Serve as a technical lead and mentor on a distributed engineering team
  

What we're looking for:

• 
  
• Strong production Python skills: you write code that runs in prod, not just notebooks
  
• Solid statistics and ML fundamentals: you can reason about experiment design, model evaluation, and when simpler approaches beat complex ones
  
• Familiarity with modern AI tools and good judgment about where they add value
  
• Adtech or CTV experience: familiarity with RTB, programmatic advertising, supply-path optimization
  
• Clear written communication: we're a distributed team and writing is how decisions get made
  
• Comfort with ambiguity: you'll own problems end-to-end in a fast-moving environment, from scoping to shipping
  
• Nice-to-Haves:
  
  • 
    
  • Teaching experience
    
  • Causal inference: uplift modeling, synthetic controls, difference-in-differences, or incrementality testing
    
  • Big data experience with Scala and Spark
    
  • Systems programming experience in Zig or similar (C, C++, Rust)
    
  • Reinforcement learning or bandit algorithms in production
