About the Role

Snap Inc. is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to design and build models that quantify causal impact, optimize decision-making, and drive value for users, advertisers, and the business. The role involves developing and productionizing causal machine learning solutions, designing and analyzing experiments, and evaluating technical tradeoffs.

Responsibilities

• Design and build models that quantify causal impact, optimize decision-making, and drive value for users, advertisers, and the business
• Develop and productionize causal machine learning solutions (e.g., uplift modeling, heterogeneous treatment effect estimation) using observational and experimental data
• Design, analyze, and interpret A/B tests and quasi-experiments; collaborate closely with product and engineering partners to shape experimentation strategies
• Evaluate technical tradeoffs between model complexity, bias/variance, scalability, and interpretability
• Conduct code reviews, maintain high engineering standards, and build scalable, maintainable infrastructure
• Contribute to rapid iteration cycles while ensuring methodological rigor

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, statistics, economics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of post-Bachelor’s experience in machine learning, with hands-on experience in causal inference or experimentation; or Master’s degree in a technical field + 4+ year of post-grad machine learning experience; or PhD in a relevant technical field + 2 years of post-grad machine learning experience
• Demonstrated experience building models to support product decision-making and policy evaluation through causal techniques
• Experience designing and analyzing online experiments (A/B tests) and leveraging causal ML in production systems
• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a quantitative field such as statistics, data science, computer science, economics, or operations research
• Experience with causal inference libraries such as CausalML, EconML or DoWhy
• Background in deploying models in production settings and working with ML or experimentation infrastructure
• Deep understanding of experimentation nuances, including intent-to-treat (ITT) vs. ghost ad methodologies, and the trade-offs between frequentist and Bayesian inference for decision-making under uncertainty

Skills

• Strong understanding of causal inference and modern approaches to estimating treatment effects (e.g., meta learners, propensity score matching, instrumental variables)
• Experience with applied data science, including A/B testing, uplift modeling, and experimentation infrastructure
• Proficient in Python and common data/machine learning libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, CausalM etc.)
• Skilled at solving open-ended problems with a mix of statistical thinking and engineering pragmatism
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating across cross-functional teams
• Strong communication and mentorship skills; able to translate technical insights for non-technical partners
