This Turn2 client is a fast-growing consumer tech company that is hiring a
Machine Learning Engineer to build real-time recommendation and ranking systems for a widely used AI-driven shopping assistant. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, ships quickly, and wants to shape how users experience search, personalization, and pricing across millions of products.
Why This Role Stands Out:- Immediate user impact: Your models power a real-world product used daily by a rapidly growing customer base.
- Full ownership: Architect, build, and ship systems from scratch in a fast-moving, product-centric culture.
- Startup velocity: Join a team of high-agency builders working to redefine how people shop.
What You'll Do:- Design large-scale systems to ingest and normalize data from 50+ external platforms, processing hundreds of millions of product listings.
- Build and deploy end-to-end ML pipelines for ranking, recommendation, and personalization.
- Collaborate with frontend and backend engineers to tightly integrate models into both web and app experiences.
- Prototype backend services that support rapid experimentation and user-facing iteration.
- Continuously optimize inference pipelines for latency, performance, and relevance.
What You Bring:- 2+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning models in production.
- Proven ability to ship features in fast-moving, consumer-facing environments.
- Expertise in personalization, ranking models, embeddings, and real-time inference (PyTorch preferred).
- Experience building data pipelines for large-scale training and predictions.
- Proficient in Python and familiar with backend tech such as GraphQL, Node.js, gRPC, or Prisma.
- Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and deployment best practices.
- A tinkering mindset-someone who builds side projects and thrives in early-stage product environments.
Bonus Points For:- Experience with real-time recommendation or search ranking systems at scale.
- Exposure to fullstack development or a willingness to contribute across the stack.
- Familiarity with applied AI in consumer tech or e-commerce settings.
