## About the role

Strategy and Vision: Own the AI strategy for dating recommendations across the full journey, from first candidate to last date. Build the frameworks to reason rigorously through ecosystem tradeoffs where a win for one cohort reshapes another, and set a vision ambitious enough that the org wants to chase it.

## What they're looking for

- 10 or more years across data science, applied ML, and software engineering, with 6 or more years in AI or engineering leadership defining strategy, not just managing execution
- A track record of leading real-time, personalized recommendation systems in production, including the relevance, fairness, and scale tradeoffs that carry real consequences
- Demonstrated success scaling ML or AI teams and developing technical leaders who carry the work over years, not a single launch
- Deep technical fluency across ML, RL, Generative AI, and MLOps, with the communication skills and executive presence to represent AI strategy at the highest levels of the organization
- A degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative field. A PhD is a plus, not a requirement
