Senior AI/ML scientist role focusing on search and recommendation systems for an e-commerce wholesale platform.
Обязанности
- As a Senior Applied AI/ML Scientist on the Search team, you will help shape the technical vision, machine-learning algorithm strategy, and system design behind one of our most important growth levers: Search (the primary tool used by customers on any e-commerce site). You will advance real-time search and recommendation systems that power next-generation shopping experiences.
- You’ll work at the frontier of algorithms, combining query understanding, deep learning, transformer-based sequential modeling, graph neural networks, and structured behavioral data to return hyper-relevant, personalized products and brands for every user query.
- This is a rare chance to influence the end-to-end personalized discovery experience at within a high-scale, deeply multi-modal environment, while collaborating closely with a talented team of scientists and engineers.
- Build our next-generation Search ranking algorithms by integrating the latest advances in deep learning and machine learning to personalize the retailer discovery journey at
- Leverage LLM to extract multimodal signals (text, visual) to better profile users and their intents.
- Partner closely with teams across to experiment and improve the ML models for search ranking and beyond.
- Design and productionize natural-language search and discovery systems so that intelligent agents can generate relevant and personalized collections, explain search results, and assist retailers with browsing, filtering, and evaluation.
- Share best practices regarding deep learning model development, agent-workflow evaluation, and MLOps, and help teammates level up through code reviews and technical guidance.
Требования
