Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer, ML Understanding will lead the next-generation user understanding initiative to build a unified, high-fidelity representation of each user for platform-wide personalization. This role involves setting the technical direction and designing core user representation layers, including large-scale embeddings, interest modeling, and key attributes across Feeds, Search, Notifications, and Ads. The engineer will develop advanced models using sequence-based, multi-interest, and multi-task learning while integrating LLMs and foundation models to improve intent inference and semantic reasoning. Key responsibilities include building scalable infrastructure for storage, retrieval, and low-latency serving in collaboration with platform teams. The role requires expertise in representation learning, behavioral modeling, and user clustering to solve the challenge of creating adaptive, context-aware personalization systems that balance performance, cost, and quality while mentoring other engineers and establishing best practices across the domain.
