  • Design and implement machine learning models to improve personalized content recommendations, search, spam detection, topic labeling, and more.
  • Work with the giant open dataset, the Bluesky social graph, and its content.
  • Run machine learning tests and experiments, documenting findings and results for future iterations.
  • Ensure algorithms deliver accurate user recommendations and optimized experiences.
  • Train, retrain, and monitor machine learning systems to maintain model effectiveness.
  • Operate and run machine learning systems at scale in production environments..

Required Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in Python and experience with PyTorch and related modules.
  • Willingness and a knack for rapid experimentation.
  • Familiarity with data structures, data modeling, and software architecture.
  • Experience with high-scale technologies 

We're especially excited if you:
  • Experience in recommendation systems, user behavior modeling, and social graph analysis.
  • Familiar or proficient with Golang, our ML code interfaces with it heavily.
  • Have experience with Ray, BigQuery, and Postgres.
  • Ability to extend and optimize existing machine learning libraries and frameworks.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset for working with cross-functional teams.

We’re a fully remote team, but an overlap of working hours with PST is required, and for this role, proximity and willingness to travel to Seattle is a plus.
