📋 Description

• Apply Machine Learning across Discord's core revenue surfaces — Shop, Nitro, Server Subscriptions, and Gifting. • Build ranking, targeting, and recommendation systems connecting users to relevant products, subscriptions, and content. • Build internal ML platforms and tooling adopted by multiple product teams. • Lead org-wide and cross-functional technical initiatives across multiple verticals. • Build ML systems from 0→1 and take them to production at scale. • Translate experiment results into product roadmap decisions. • Keep stakeholders educated and aligned.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in applied Machine Learning, inclusive Ph.D. or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field. • Strong expertise in applied deep learning and mainstream RecSys model architecture (e.g. two-tower, transformer-based models, multi-task learning). • Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow. • A track record of building ML systems from 0→1 in ambiguous, early-stage environments, and taking them to production at scale. • Strong product and business intuition, with the ability to translate experiment results into roadmap decisions. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to lead cross-functional technical initiatives across multiple verticals and keep stakeholders educated and aligned. • The ability to thrive in ambiguous environments, energized by open-ended, technically challenging problems. • Built internal ML platform/tooling (shared data standards, targeting endpoints, recommender libraries) adopted by multiple product teams. • Familiarity with personalized marketing systems — lifecycle targeting, audience segmentation and lookalikes, campaign optimization. • Deep expertise in distributed training (e.g. PyTorch on GPU, Ray, Anyscale) and large-scale data processing pipelines (e.g. Chronon, Spark, Flink).
