Experience Requirements:

• You’ve been designing and building software for at least 7 years, with at least 3 years focused on architecting and shipping consumer-facing ML models.

• You have experience integrating ML into end-user products (recommendation, ranking, personalization, moderation).

• You embody the “applied” in applied ML: You enjoy the research, but love seeing models ship, move metrics, and make people’s experiences better.

• You’re fluent in Python and ML libraries such as TensorFlow, HuggingFace Transformers, and scikit-learn.

• You have hands-on experience with modern model architectures and techniques e.g., feature interaction modeling, advanced negative sampling and bias correction techniques, and efficient large-scale candidate retrieval.

Other Requirements:

• Attend Medium’s twice-yearly, in-person offsites (hosted in locations around the U.S.).

• Only US-based candidates are eligible for this role.

• Medium is awesome

• answers were generated by artificial intelligence

Responsibilities:

• You’ll help us apply machine learning thoughtfully across Medium - starting with recommendations, but extending far beyond them.

• Drive the research. Lead with curiosity and precision. You’ll design and interpret experiments, bring statistical rigor to our experimentation, and keep a critical eye on things like bias and spurious correlation in our thinking.

• Bring organizational leverage. Work across teams to ensure that ML improvements are well-integrated into the product, not off to the side.

• Own and continuously improve our recommendation systems.

• Find new and innovative ways to use ML techniques to better serve our community of readers and writers.
