What you'll do

• Ship production ML features: own end-to-end ML development from experimentation to deployment

• Drive intelligent user experiences: integrate and optimise ML models (recommendations, generation, automation) that power core creative workflows

• Productionize at velocity: deploy reliable, monitored ML systems that scale, maintaining performance under high-traffic B2C conditions

• Partner with product engineering: collaborate with frontend/backend teams to integrate ML seamlessly into user flows, optimizing for both technical quality and user impact

• Build agentic capabilities: develop autonomous AI agents that handle complex creative workflows

What you need to succeed

• BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience. PhD is a big plus.
