About the role
- There's a time and place for every type of dish, from hidden neighborhood gems to tried-and-true favorites, and we exist to connect people with the food they love in all the ways they like to dig in.
- Join our team, based out of New York City, Chicago and Denver, and help us give our diners the exceptional value they deserve.
- These models sit on the critical path to conversion for hundreds of thousands of merchants and hundreds of millions of menu items, and they are one of the largest organic growth levers we have.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Product, Search Engineering, Ads, and Data Platform to shape roadmaps, surface risk early, and make sure the data and infrastructure exist before the model needs them.
- Translate technical trade-offs into business terms for product and executive stakeholders, and document the rationale clearly enough that decisions outlive the people who made them.
Requirements
- Lead the evolution of our optimization objective from short-term conversion toward long-term diner value, including the offline evaluation and online experimentation work required to trust the result before it ships.
- Experience with Large Language Models and transformer-based architectures, including fine-tuning, embedding generation, and deploying them in latency-sensitive applications.
- Experience with language understanding over imperfect grammar (real-world search queries, menu and catalog text) is a strong plus
- Experience with cloud ML infrastructure (AWS/SageMaker or equivalent), model deployment, and production monitoring and observability
