Strong programming (Python/Java) and data engineering skills.
Deep understanding of Machine Learning best practices (eg. training/serving skew minimization, A/B test, feature engineering, feature/model selection), algorithms (eg. gradient boosted trees, neural networks/deep learning, optimization) and domains (eg. natural language processing, personalization and recommendation).
Experience with 3 or more of these technologies: Tensorflow, PyTorch, Kubernetes, Spark, Airflow (or equivalent), Kafka (or equivalent), data warehouse (eg. Hive).
Industry experience building end-to-end Machine Learning infrastructure and/or building and productionizing Machine Learning models.
Exposure to architectural patterns of large, high-scale software applications (e.g., well-designed APIs, high volume data pipelines, efficient algorithms, models).
Prior knowledge of ML Applications in the ranking, recommendation or personalization domain is highly desirable
