TL;DR · Staff Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer, Embedding Platform

As a Staff Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer on the LS Embedding Machine Learning Platform team, you will own the technical direction for large-scale machine learning platforms and advanced deep learning architectures. You will architect next-generation systems, lead research into scalable model designs and real-time adaptation, and partner with infrastructure teams to build high-performance distributed training systems across multiple GPUs and cloud environments. Your daily work involves optimizing real-time serving architectures for large-scale embeddings to ensure low-latency inference while mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional teams in areas like Feed Ranking and Ads. You will utilize Python, C++, and expertise in sequence models and foundational models to solve complex multi-entity relationship problems. The role focuses on enhancing personalization and recommendation quality by integrating sophisticated machine learning models into the core infrastructure of the platform's ecosystem.

What you'll do

  • Architect and lead the development of next-generation, large-scale machine learning techniques.
  • Define and execute ML strategies to improve personalization and recommendation quality across the platform.
  • Lead research on scalable machine learning systems and real-time model adaptation for production use.
  • Build high-performance, distributed training systems that scale across multiple GPUs and cloud environments.
  • Optimize real-time serving architectures for large-scale embeddings to ensure low-latency inference and high throughput.
  • Integrate ML models into key AI-driven systems like Feed Ranking, Ads, and Content Understanding.
  • Mentor and guide senior and mid-level engineers to foster a culture of technical excellence.
  • Evaluate and introduce new modeling paradigms to keep the platform's machine learning ecosystem cutting-edge.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in machine learning engineering focusing on large-scale systems and recommendation or personalization systems.
  • Expertise in modern deep learning architectures, including sequence models and foundational models.
  • Deep understanding of modeling complex multi-entity relationships in large-scale machine learning applications.
  • Proven ability to design, implement, and optimize scalable ML architectures from distributed training to real-time inference.
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python, C++, or similar languages for high-performance computing and cloud-based pipelines.
  • Demonstrated leadership in driving ML strategy, mentoring engineers, and influencing cross-functional teams.
  • Experience with A/B testing, model evaluation frameworks, and real-time feedback loops in production systems.
  • Excellent communication skills to present complex ML concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
