We look for candidates who strive to push the state-of-the-art in applied research domains like information retrieval, learning to rank, natural language processing, semantic search, personalization, dialog management, and natural language generation.

* Ph.D. or M.S.in a quantitative field, plus zero, or two years of industry experience, respectively.


* 3+ additional years of research and development experience in real-world information retrieval, search, NLU/P, or voice/dialog systems.

* Expertise with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).


* Production experience implementing machine learning pipelines and models at scale in Python, Java, Scala, or similar languages.


* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively advocate technical solutions to scientists, engineers, and product audiences.


* Passion for data-driven research, development, and experimentation.


* Self-motivated, growth-oriented, and driven to pursue solutions to challenging problems.


* Must have legal right to work in the U.S.
