- Develop relationships across the studio to understand and prioritize data science needs
- Identify novel techniques to unsolved problems and construct live machine learning systems that impact players directly
- Determine adequate metrics and/or structures for machine learning systems to monitor and evaluate their current effectiveness
- Contribute to the overall data efforts at Singularity 6, setting the bar for machine learning standards and challenging technical norms
Required Qualifications:
- Proficient in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Scala, Go or Rust)
- Deep understanding of a range of machine learning methodologies from simple solutions, such as GLMs, to complex ones, such as deep learning
- Firm understanding of general concepts within statistics and probability (e.g. hypothesis testing, sampling, estimation)
- Knowledge of cloud computing and cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Experience working with common data platforms (e.g., Databricks, AI Platform, SageMaker)
- Background in building large-scale machine learning systems
Desired Qualifications:
- Extensive expertise in one or more of the following areas; recommender systems, language models, graph machine learning, reinforcement learning, optimization
- Experience with processing (e.g., DataFlow, Spark, DataProc, EMR), storage (e.g., S3, Google Cloud Storage), data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift), and orchestration (e.g., Airflow, Luigi)
- Experience managing and deploying cloud infrastructure using containers and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
Location:
- On-site in Los Angeles, CA (once back in office) unless noted above
Benefits:
- Health, Vision, Dental, 401k Matching, and Equity
- Relocation Assistance
Job Vertical:
