Machine Learning Engineer L4, Algorithms Engineering

The Opportunity: We are looking for a passionate and talented machine learning engineer to join our applied ML research team on estimating long-term member satisfaction. As Netflix continues to grow, we are venturing into exciting new frontiers of personalization to help our members find the content they’ll most enjoy. To do this, we have to understand which titles, and what experiences in the product, produce the most joy for each member. In this role, you will contribute to building, implementing, and scaling the next generation of personalization algorithms using techniques such as causal inference, machine learning, reinforcement learning, and econometrics. You will work with a team of experts in these techniques to understand how members experience titles, and how that changes their long-term assessment of their satisfaction with the Netflix service. You will be responsible for operating, as well as innovating, these algorithms in production. You will conduct applied research by conceptualizing, designing, implementing, and validating potential algorithmic improvements. This includes researching and applying cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, running offline experiments, and building online A/B tests to run in production systems. You will partner with people from many disciplines, including behavioral scientists, machine learning researchers, and application engineers. To be successful in this role, you need a strong machine learning and software engineering background and have proven experience with large-scale applications involving machine learning. You will need to exhibit strong communication and leadership skills, an ability to set priorities, and an execution focus in a dynamic environment.
