TL;DR

Join our dynamic team as an Applied Researcher I and contribute to cutting-edge projects in geometric deep learning and sequential models. You will develop innovative solutions for large-scale graph neural networks and recommender systems, focusing on scaling these models to handle datasets with over 100 million users. Your daily tasks include proposing new methods for inference and representation learning, working with real-time data streams, and contributing to open-source frameworks like PyTorch-Geometric and DGL. Ideal candidates possess a PhD in relevant fields, multiple publications at top conferences such as KDD, ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR, and hands-on experience scaling graph models beyond 50 million nodes. This role demands expertise in deep learning, behavioral modeling, and data preparation to address complex business challenges on a massive scale.
