About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead end-to-end development of production ML systems: data sourcing, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
Own key ML products such as probabilistic identity resolution, single-title affinity, and audience/propensity models.
Design scalable feature pipelines on Databricks and the WBD feature store, with documented feature contracts, backfill paths, and freshness SLAs.
Architect batch and near-real-time inference pipelines integrated with Snowflake and activation systems.
Develop and optimize models across the ML spectrum: gradient boosting, embedding/two-tower retrieval, neural ranking, probability calibration, and probabilistic/graph-based matching.
Design rigorous offline and online experiments; define evaluation frameworks appropriate to each use case.
Contribute to lookalike modeling using 1,000+ first- and third-party features.
Champion MLOps best practices: model versioning, automated retraining triggers, drift detection, and production monitoring with MLflow.
Build and maintain robust, reproducible, auditable ML pipelines on Databricks and enforce leakage prevention and training/serving consistency.
Mentor MLE 2s through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing.

Requirements

What you’ll need
