Role Description

AS A MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER AT LIFTOFF, YOU WILL:

  • Have a closed feedback loop from hypothesis generation to live AB testing, with no cross-team friction and sub-day iteration cycles.
  • Take on unique modeling challenges not covered in the scientific literature, like extreme positive sample sparsity and labelling delay.
  • Work with modeling techniques at the state-of-the-art of probability prediction, as well as a multitude of other ML areas from NLP to CNNs.
  • Become an expert in Clojure, Go, and the many other cutting-edge open source technologies that maximize our development velocity.
  • Join a nimble, consistently excellent, and experienced engineering team (former Google/LI/Ooyala/etc).

DESIRED QUALITIES AND EXPERIENCES:

  • Very strong coding ability (experience in Go and Clojure is a plus).
  • 2+ years of industry experience applying Machine Learning to large scale problems.
  • Strong core CS fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, architecting systems).
  • A passion for quality and excellence, and the ability to temper it when necessary to ship.
  • Sets ego aside in pursuit of finding the best solution, no matter where it comes from.
  • Self-motivated and a great ability to hustle.
  • B.S. or higher in Computer Science. PhD a big plus.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. Come join our team and help us shape the future of mobile growth!
