In this role, you will
Explore and experiment with state‑of‑the‑art AI models and machine learning techniques, contributing to core product features powered by ML.
Own projects end‑to‑end – from understanding problem requirements and designing experiments to building prototypes, iterating, and helping bring them into production.
Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to translate user needs into ML‑powered solutions.
Dive deep into data, building an understanding of how to measure model performance and improve real‑world outcomes.
Stay curious and up to date with emerging ML research, applying learnings to improve our product and stack.
Contribute to a culture of rapid experimentation, balancing scrappy prototypes with thoughtful iteration.
Learn from senior engineers, while taking initiative to independently explore new approaches and technologies.
Bring a strong ownership mentality – driving projects forward, unblocking yourself, and pushing ideas from concept to execution.
You may be a good fit if
Experience : 1+ internship or project‑based experiences in ML, applied AI, or data science. (Full‑time professional ML experience not required.)
Technical skills : Familiarity with Python, ML frameworks (such as PyTorch or TensorFlow), and basic data processing workflows. Exposure to large language models or generative AI is a plus.
Product focus : Excited to see how ML can directly improve user‑facing experiences, not just research for its own sake.
Ownership mindset : Hungry to take responsibility, follow through on projects, and grow into increasing levels of independence.
Learning‑first attitude : Eager to deepen your expertise in ML techniques, model deployment, and AI systems while building real‑world products.
Collaboration : Comfortable working closely with engineers, PMs, and designers to co‑create solutions.
Adaptability : Thrives in a fast‑paced environment with shifting priorities, and welcomes feedback as a way to accelerate growth.
Inclusive mindset : Values diversity of thought, seeks input from others, and contributes to a supportive, collaborative team culture.
