About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join the Search Ranking team within our Global Search tribe. This role focuses on designing, building, and productionalizing deep neural ranking models for a high-traffic search functionality used by millions globally.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Ranking Stack End-to-End: Design, build, and productionalize deep neural ranking models.
  • Drive Agentic ML Research: Leverage LLM coding agents to autonomously iterate on feature engineering and Learning to Rank (LTR) architectures.
  • Lead Feature Engineering and Model Architecture Innovation: Apply expertise in ranking signals, feature stores, and embedding-based retrieval.
  • Ensure Production Reliability: Maintain rigorous standards for model health in production, including monitoring for model drift and latency degradation.
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work as a technical partner with Backend Engineers, Data Engineers, and Product Managers.
  • Raise the Bar: Mentor junior and mid data scientists and drive best practices in experimentation rigor and code quality.

Requirements

  • Master's degree (or Bachelor's with 6+ years of work experience) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 4+ years of industry experience as a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer applying ML in high-traffic production environments.
  • Hands-on, production-proven experience implementing modern deep learning ranking architectures (DCN-V2, MMoE, Two-Tower).
  • Strong command of multi-task learning, cross-feature interactions, and embedding optimization at scale.
  • Solid foundation in LTR methods (pointwise, pairwise, listwise) and offline evaluation metrics (NDCG, MRR).
  • Proficiency with LLM coding agents and agentic CLI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini).
  • Familiarity with the auto-research paradigm and comfort reviewing large volumes of autonomously generated experiment results.
  • Expert in Python and its ML ecosystem (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
  • Comfortable with SQL (dbt), cloud environments (GCP or AWS), and big-data processing at scale (PySpark, Scala).
  • Strong command of the full ML lifecycle — feature stores, vector databases, model versioning, A/B experimentation frameworks, and deployment to high-throughput, low-latency serving infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience with MLOps practices: CI/CD for ML pipelines, Metaflow, experiment tracking, model registry, and production monitoring.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and translating broad business objectives into well-scoped data science projects.
  • Accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in cross-functional, globally distributed teams.
  • Strong communication skills to articulate model behavior, experiment results, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
