Why Join Us?

Your Role

Lead a team of ML engineers building next-generation personalization and optimization systems.

This role requires someone who can architect complex systems while mentoring others and collaborating across organizations.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a team of 3-5 ML engineers building personalization systems
  • Architect multi-stage ranking systems (retrieval ? ranking ? re-ranking)
  • Define technical roadmap aligned with business objectives
  • Drive improvements in model quality, system reliability, and development velocity
  • Establish best practices for model development and deployment
  • Partner with product, data science, and engineering teams
  • Contribute hands-on to critical model development (50% coding)

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years in ML engineering, 2+ years leading technical teams
  • Deep expertise in large-scale personalization systems
  • Experience with modern ML architectures (two-tower, transformer-based, graph neural networks)
  • Strong system design skills for ML infrastructure
  • Proven ability to mentor engineers and drive technical decisions
  • Experience managing stakeholder relationships and project delivery
  • BS / MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience in adtech, e-commerce, or content platforms
  • Published papers or significant ML contributions
  • Experience with multi-objective optimization
  • Knowledge of reinforcement learning for personalization
  • Compensation : $130,000 - $250,000

    Base salary is set according to market rates for the nearest major metro and varies based on Launch Potato's Levels Framework. Your compensation package includes a base salary, profit-sharing bonus, and competitive benefits.

    Launch Potato is a performance-driven company, which means once you are hired, future increases will be based on company and personal performance, not annual cost-of-living adjustments.
