About the role

You will be in charge of implementing the components that solve the "Cold Start" problem for new users and provide seamless re-entry for returning ones.
Retrieval Optimization: Use Qdrant to find high-relevance candidates for re-entry carousels based on session history and global trends.

You own the "onboarding" and "re-entry" experience, including high-commitment surfaces like Your Next Watch (YNW), Jump Back In (JBI), and While You Were Away (WYWA).
You'll work in an IC2 (Mid-level) role to ensure these surfaces, which optimize for Start Rate under uncertainty, identify if a user stays or leaves within the first 30 seconds of app launch.
Own the implementation of features for JBI (Jump Back In) and YNW (Your Next Watch).
Use MLFlow to manage, track, and deploy experiments, ensuring a high bar for reproducibility.
Participate in design reviews to ensure your components share the same high-reliability standards as the rest of the pod.
Build the logic that makes the app feel personalized even for users we know very little about.
Unique opportunities to make meaningful connections and build a vibrant community, both inside and outside the workplace.

3+ years in MLE.
Experience with Google Cloud Platform and MLFlow.
Proficiency in TensorFlow/PyTorch.
Knowledge with Vector DBs.
Experience managing, tracking, and deploying experiments to ensure a high bar for reproducibility.
Experience with retrieval optimization and re-entry carousels.

$124,000.00 - 186,000.00.
