What You Bring

  • 7–10 years of experience building, deploying, and maintaining ML models at scale.
  • Deep expertise in Python, SQL, Spark (PySpark or Scala) and frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Proven track record in consumer tech or large-scale marketplaces companies.
  • Hands-on experience with CNNs, Transformers, Vision Transformers, and personalization algorithms.
  • Background in user behavior modeling, search relevance, or real-time data systems.
  • Strong foundation in experimentation (A / B testing), statistics, and applied ML.
  • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to translate technical insights into business value.
  • Experience with LLMs, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), or PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) techniques.
