• 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.
