Roles & Responsibilities

Responsibilities

  • Design, train, and deploy recommendations/personalization models leveraging deep learning, sequence models (Transformers, GRU), and boosted trees (XGBoost, LightGBM).
  • Develop multi-task learning approaches that optimize engagement, conversion, and merchant outcomes simultaneously.
  • Build scalable retrieval and ranking systems with ANN search (FAISS, ScaNN) and vector embeddings trained on user, product, and event data.
  • Collaborate with infra to productionize real-time feature pipelines (ClickHouse, Kafka, Spark).
  • Run A/B tests and interpret results using causal inference and uplift modeling to drive measurable business impact.
  • Integrate model outputs with platform APIs for dynamic personalization in search, home feeds, and store pages.
  • Define best practices for offline evaluation (MAP@K, NDCG) and online experimentation metrics (CTR, CVR, GMV uplift).
  • Partner with product analytics and data science to iterate on signal enrichment and cold-start strategies.
  • Mentor junior data scientists and define best practices

Requirements

  • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
  • 4+ years of hands-on ML experience, including 2+ years designing or deploying large-scale recommendation systems.
  • Track record: Built or maintained systems serving 1M+ users or generating 100M+ personalized predictions daily.
  • Deep expertise in representation learning, embeddings, attention mechanisms, and multi-task learning.
  • Demonstrated success integrating multi-stage ranking systems across e-commerce surfaces (search, feeds, product detail pages) with measurable online lift (CVR, GMV).
  • Proficient with large-scale data ecosystems: Kafka, Spark, ClickHouse, BigQuery, or equivalent.
  • Strong understanding of offline/online evaluation metrics, A/B experimentation, and model monitoring frameworks.
  • Skilled in debugging, optimization, and productionization of ML pipelines in cloud or containerized environments
