Experience designing and running online experiments (A/B testing) to evaluate model impact on product metrics

Experience communicating technical decisions and trade-offs in writing to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including design documents and postmortems

Preferred Qualifications:

Track record of driving cross-team technical initiatives that improved ML platform capabilities or established new modeling standards across an organization

Experience with large language models, generative AI systems, or foundation model fine-tuning and alignment techniques

Experience building recommendation or ranking systems at internet scale, including feature engineering, retrieval, and scoring pipelines

Experience developing ML observability tooling, including dashboards, alerting, and automated anomaly detection for production model health
