As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on the Signals Modeling team, you will work on developing transformer-based models that predict user interactions with ads across various stages, including clicks and post-click engagement. Your day-to-day responsibilities include driving modeling innovations for ad interaction outcomes under partial feedback, designing data-driven attribution pipelines, and creating robust learning methods for scenarios with sparse or delayed signals. You will also develop multi-task and proxy-signal models to improve offline and online measurement frameworks, translating these advancements into production systems that enhance ad ranking and user experience at scale. The role requires expertise in deep learning, large-scale experimentation, and marketplace economics, along with hands-on experience in Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, and a strong background in supervised and multi-task learning. This position offers the opportunity to shape next-generation transformer architectures and deploy models that directly impact one of the world’s largest ads ecosystems.
