As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer II on the Ads Response Prediction team, you will lead the research and development of core machine learning models powering the ads ecosystem. This research-leaning role focuses on theoretical problem formulation, training methodology, and model quality rather than infrastructure. You will build pCTR and conversion prediction models while addressing challenges like selection bias, position bias, and optimizer’s curse. Your work involves implementing debiasing techniques, multi-task learning, and sequence modeling using architectures like Mixture-of-Experts and Transformer layers. You will also contribute to generative retrieval systems and foundation model approaches for ads ranking. Required skills include proficiency in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX, along with SQL and Spark. The role addresses the technical challenge of creating a relevant, engaging advertising experience by optimizing marketplace dynamics and improving model calibration across various surfaces.
