- Design, train, and validate models for churn propensity, lifetime value (LTV) forecasting, next-best-action, and lookalike modeling.
- Build and optimize recommendation engines and semantic search systems.
- Establish experimentation frameworks using advanced A/B testing, causal inference, and multivariate testing.
- Partner with Product and Growth Marketing to translate business hypotheses into machine learning problems.
- Mentor senior engineers across data and ML organizations.
- Advocate for ML engineering best practices, including model monitoring, feature stores, reproducible training pipelines, and data governance.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, data science, or software engineering, including at least 3+ years in a Staff, Principal, or Tech Lead capacity.
- Experience building and scaling ML systems in growth, marketing technology, recommendation engines, or consumer engagement.
- Extensive experience with large-scale data processing and distributed computing.
- Expert-level proficiency in Python, Scala, or Java.
- Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or XGBoost.
- Experience with Spark, Flink, Kafka, Snowflake or BigQuery, Ray, Kubeflow, MLflow, or SageMaker.
- Deep understanding of causal inference, uplift modeling, and statistical testing.
- Ability to connect algorithmic improvements to business metrics such as MAU/DAU, conversion rates, and retention.
- Strong communication skills for explaining technical architectures and algorithmic choices to non-technical stakeholders and executives.
