Software Engineer (Machine Learning) Responsibilities

• Research, design, develop, and test operating systems-level software, compilers, and network distribution software for massive social data and prediction problems.


• Have industry experience working on a range of ranking, classification, recommendation, and optimization problems , e.g. payment fraud, click-through or conversion rate prediction, click-fraud detection, ads/feed/search ranking, text/sentiment classification, collaborative filtering/recommendation, or spam detection.


• Working on problems of diverse scope, develop highly scalable systems, algorithms and tools leveraging deep learning, data regression, and rules based models.


• Suggest, collect, analyze and synthesize requirements and bottleneck in technology, systems, and tools.


• Demonstrates good judgment to develop solutions that iterate orders of magnitude with a higher efficiency, efficiently leverage orders of magnitude and more data, and explore stateof-the-art deep learning techniques.


• Receiving little instruction from supervisor, code deliverables in tandem with the engineering team.


• Adapt standard machine learning methods to best exploit modern parallel environments (e.g. distributed clusters, multicore SMP, and GPU).
