At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our three products: Everand, Scribd, and Slideshare.
We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.
We love collaborating and investing time in our Scribd community, and we create intentional in-person moments with each other to build culture and connection. And, it is through our flexible work benefit – Scribd Flex – that we enable employees, in partnership with their manager, to choose the work-style that best suits their individual needs and preferences.
About The Team
Our Machine Learning Platform sits at the heart of an ecosystem with over 200 million pieces of content, more than 200 million unique visitors each month, and empowering 2 million paying subscribers across the globe. With content available in over 20 languages, our platform presents unparalleled opportunities and challenges for AI innovation. This curated developer environment is designed not just to enable, but to accelerate AI projects, fueling an extraordinary Scribd user experience. Our platform supports a wide array of machine learning applications, from sophisticated classifications and personalized recommendations to cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs). The ML Platform team is tasked with navigating the complexities of deploying state-of-the-art ML solutions rapidly and cost efficiently. By constructing, delivering, and maintaining a robust platform, we ensure the seamless flow of the entire machine learning workflow — from initial experimentation to final production deployment.
The team is remote-first and is spread across time zones across North America and Europe. We use tools that emphasize asynchronous communication but also pair program or use online meetings when those are the best approaches. Regardless of the medium, excellent communication skills are a must. We operate with autonomy (developers closest to the code will make the most well-informed decisions) while holding ourselves and each other accountable.
