About the role
We're looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to own recommendations for Fable and grow into the technical lead for Premium recommendations. Fable's recommender today is a collaborative-filtering model built in house. It has served readers well, but it has no real-time signals and no learned ranking, and it can't recommend to new or lapsed readers. Your first big project is to move Fable onto Orion, so Fable and Everand share a modern recommendation stack. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years as a professional ML or software engineer, with a track record of shipping production ML systems
- Hands-on experience building and running recommender systems in production, such as collaborative filtering or matrix factorization, two-tower or embedding retrieval, and learned ranking
- Experience with large-scale data processing (Spark, Databricks, BigQuery or similar)
- Experience on at least one major cloud (AWS or GCP), including deploying services on containers (Kubernetes, ECS or similar)
- Experience designing and analyzing online experiments
- A record of leading projects that depend on other teams, and of working directly with product managers
