О компании и продукте

• We are a Machine Learning/Data heavy team with a focus on the following areas. Multimodal & Content Embeddings - Make sense of organic (posts, comments, subreddits) and promoted (ads, shopping products, their landing pages) text and media content by embedding them into a shared space. Contextual and Behavioral Relevance - Working with Product & Data Science, establishing definitions of what ads are relevant to users and the content we show them next to, building metrics and fine-tuning embeddings to better reflect relevance. Knowledge Graph Embeddings - Building representations for the Knowledge graph entities, e.g., intellectual properties/brands, to be used for high-precision targeting & business insights
• User Intent Modeling - Leveraging various techniques to introduce user representations based on the content they interact with: batch & real-time sequence modeling, LLM summarization, etc. LLM-based Representations - Leveraging LLMs, VLMs, and foundational models to build complex representations of Reddit entities that improve ranking outcomes. The signals and features we create become a key piece in the Ads Delivery funnel, from targeting to the auction, as well as the Business Insights product and other advertiser-facing products such as Creative generation and optimization. As a Senior ML Engineer , you’ll be in charge of the full-cycle execution of ML projects - from collaborating with cross-functional teams on requirements and design, to the implementation of the feature and its experimentation

Задачи

• Developing new or iterating on existing embedding models for advertising use cases, ranging from aggregation pipelines to two-tower architectures and sequence models
• Working with local and 3rd-party LLMs/VLMs: extract representations, develop evaluation methodologies, prompt tune and fine-tune large models to build state-of-the-art embeddings
• Building data processing and inference pipelines for the models we develop
• Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the various features we develop, end-to-end experimentation from internal benchmarks to downstream recommender system offline metrics to online experiments
• Ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of the ML systems by writing automated tests, monitoring performance, and implementing best practices for model management
• Participating in modeling and coding reviews: You will review work by other team members and provide feedback to ensure that it meets the team's standards for quality and performance
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions
• Reddit is a community of communities
• It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet
