This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Staff Software Engineer, Machine Learning in the United States. This role offers an opportunity to design, develop, and scale advanced machine learning solutions that impact millions of users. You will work on recommender systems, personalization engines, and engagement-focused ML products, contributing to end-to-end model development from ideation to production. The position emphasizes cross-functional collaboration, enabling you to influence product roadmaps while driving innovation in high-throughput, low-latency systems. You will mentor peers, set technical direction, and help shape the future of ML infrastructure and applications. Ideal candidates thrive in ambiguous environments, enjoy tackling technically challenging problems, and are motivated by creating real-world user impact at scale. Accountabilities Architect and build robust, scalable, and high-throughput recommender systems that power core product features. Design, train, and deploy advanced machine learning models using deep learning, reinforcement learning, and optimization techniques. Lead technical initiatives, setting architectural direction, and addressing systemic challenges. Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering teams to shape ML-driven product roadmaps. Identify opportunities for innovation and efficiency in ML system design and deployment. Mentor and guide team members, promoting engineering excellence and best practices. 8+ years of experience in applied Machine Learning, including Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or related field.
