The Impact You'll Be Contributing to Moloco:
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on Moloco's Ads Quality team, you'll design and scale machine learning systems that directly improve ad relevance, ranking, and optimization. Your work will have a measurable impact on advertiser performance, revenue efficiency, and the overall user experience across Moloco's ad platform.
The Opportunity:
- Design, build, and deploy large-scale ML systems for ad ranking, click-through prediction, and conversion optimization
- Develop and operate production pipelines that process hundreds of millions of ad requests per day with low-latency requirements
- Collaborate directly with customers and partners in Mandarin to understand business goals and deliver data-driven ML solutions
- Apply systematic, reproducible approaches to model training, evaluation, and continuous improvement
- Partner with the Machine Learning Infrastructure and Data teams to improve tooling, deployment pipelines, and training efficiency
- Lead design and code reviews to promote technical excellence and standardize ML practices across Ads teams
- Diagnose model performance, identify optimization opportunities, and execute experiments that drive measurable results
- Mentor engineers on best practices for ML experimentation, productionization, and scaling
- Work cross-functionally with product, infrastructure, and business teams to align technical innovations with product goals
How Do I Know if the Role is Right For Me?
- You have 7+ years of experience building and deploying ML systems at scale, ideally in AdTech, recommender systems, or search/ranking domains
- You've shipped models that directly improved key product or business metrics such as CTR, CVR, or ROI
- You're fluent in Mandarin Chinese and skilled at collaborating with customers or partners in technical discussions
- You have strong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and system design and proficiency in Python (C++ or Java a plus)
- You're experienced with modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
- You've worked with distributed data and compute systems like Apache Beam, Dataflow, or Flume
- You understand how to build robust ML pipelines including data versioning, feature engineering, retraining, and model monitoring in production
- You have experience optimizing inference performance on GPUs, TPUs, or similar hardware accelerators
- You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and can translate complex technical work into measurable business outcomes
- You value collaboration, accountability, and building systems that scale across teams and markets
