About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and build the perception pipeline — owning the full development cycle from initial design through implementation, deployment, and operation
Design and implement matching and ranking algorithms — applying spatial and temporal reasoning to identify the most relevant content — and continuously refine accuracy through real world feedback
Design and implement privacy protection mechanisms — evaluating and applying detection and redaction techniques — working closely with the team to meet privacy governance requirements
Evaluate and integrate content filtering approaches (including detection algorithms if needed) to improve the relevance of delivered content through iterative experimentation
Drive continuous improvement through real world failure analysis and iteration, collaborate cross-functionally on architecture and integration, and own observability metrics for processing performance, accuracy, and delivery latency
