Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and evaluate recommendation, personalization, and ranking models
- Develop and apply NLP and GenAI techniques, including RAG and prompt-based approaches, for recommendations and agent workflows
- Perform data analysis and feature engineering on large, complex, and messy datasets
- Build and maintain offline and online evaluation frameworks for model quality, relevance, latency, and business impact
- Investigate failure modes and conduct error analysis
- Make practical tradeoffs between quality, speed, and complexity
- Partner with engineering and platform teams to deploy, monitor, and iterate on production models
- Communicate findings and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Stay current with recommendation systems, NLP, and GenAI advances and inform the roadmap
- Document models, pipelines, and methodologies
- Ensure data handling complies with privacy and security regulations such as GDPR and CCPA
- Ship measurable improvements to recommendation, personalization, or GenAI-powered features
- Establish evaluation frameworks for core models or agent workflows
- Turn ambiguous data or product questions into analyses, experiments, and recommendations
- Improve metrics such as relevance, engagement, conversion, retention, latency, or cost efficiency
