Software Engineer, Machine Learning Responsibilities

• Lead projects to research, design, develop, and test large-scale machine learning models and algorithms for Ads Ranking problems.
• Develop solutions for a wide range of ranking, classification, recommendation, and optimization problems, eg click-through or conversion rate prediction, click-fraud detection, ads ranking, text/sentiment classification, personalized recommendations by employing a variety of machine learning techniques including deep learning, natural language processing, collaborative filtering and clustering.
• Provide technical leadership for the team by creating roadmaps and setting long-term direction for developing industry-leading machine learning technology.
• Apply extensive knowledge of Ads business and systems and collaborate with other teams to identify impactful problems and architect highly scalable and efficient technical solutions using machine learning, large-scale data processing and distributed computing.
• Working on problems of diverse scope, develop highly scalable systems, algorithms and tools leveraging deep learning, data regression, and rules based models.
• Demonstrates good judgment to develop solutions that iterate orders of magnitude with a higher efficiency, efficiently leverage orders of magnitude and more data, and explore state-of-the-art deep learning techniques.
• Develop deep insights through rigorous data analysis and leverage them for detecting and troubleshooting problems as well as identifying ways to enhance solutions.
• Receiving little instruction from supervisor, manage projects by setting goals, prioritization, preparing project plans, tracking progress, reporting updates, identifying and mitigating risks.
• Adapt standard machine learning methods to best exploit modern parallel environments (eg distributed clusters, multicore SMP, and GPU).
