    • Prototyping and validating ideas with LLM tools.
    • Leveraging AI for code iteration and experimentation.
    • Using AI assistants for architecture diagramming and design validation.
    • Exploring LLM‑powered features where appropriate.
Minimum Requirements
  • 12+ years of industry experience in machine learning or software engineering, with demonstrated ownership of production ML systems operating at scale.
  • Proven experience building and scaling ML systems in personalization, relevance, search, or ad tech domains.
  • Strong hands‑on expertise in distributed systems, data pipelines, and ML infrastructure.
  • Experience deploying ML models into production and operating them at consumer scale.
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex technical initiatives within a team.
  • Strong systems design skills with the ability to clearly articulate tradeoffs and implementation decisions.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical standards within a team.
