The worlds largest content recommendation platform, is hiring a Staff Algo Data Engineer for the Algo platform group.
About Algo platform:
The objective of the algo platform group is to own the existing algo platform (including health, stability, productivity and enablement), to facilitate and be involved in new platform experimentation within the algo craft and lead the platformization of the parts which should graduate into production scale. This includes support of ongoing ML projects while ensuring smooth operations and infrastructure reliability, owning a full set of capabilities, design and planning, implementation and production care.
The group has deep ties with both the algo craft as well as the infra group. The group reports to the infra department and has a dotted line reporting to the algo craft leadership.
The group serves as the professional authority when it comes to ML engineering and ML ops, serves as a focal point in a multidisciplinary team of algorithm researchers, product managers, and engineers and works with the most senior talent within the algo craft in order to achieve ML excellence.
