The opportunity
Unity Vector represents the next generation of our AI-powered advertising ecosystem-a forward-looking evolution of our machine learning infrastructure and models. We are seeking a visionary Director of Machine Learning to lead our User Value team, a group at the heart of Unity's ambitious machine learning modeling initiatives.
As a leader, you will bridge the gap between complex machine learning paradigms and core product strategy. You will manage and scale a high-performing organization of scientists and ML engineers, ensuring our models translate into high-value user acquisition for advertisers.
What You'll Do

• Shape the ML Vision: Define 1-3 year technical roadmap for user value modeling, aligning algorithmic capabilities with product and business growth goals.
• Lead and Scale Teams: Mentor, recruit, and retain a team of applied scientists and machine learning engineers. Foster a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and rapid experimentation.
• Drive Product Impact: Partner closely with leadership in Product, Design, and Data Science to identify new opportunities where ML can solve customer pain points and unlock tangible value.
• Advance the Technical Stack: Oversee the development, deployment, and maintenance of scalable ML systems-spanning personalization, content recommendation, multi-task learning, reinforcement learning, and large language model (LLM) integration-ensuring high availability and low latency.
• Balance Innovation and Execution: Establish rigorous frameworks for A/B testing, model evaluation, and guardrails to ensure algorithmic changes measurably improve customer trust and retention without introducing regression.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Leadership: 8+ years of experience in machine learning and software engineering, with 4+ years of experience managing teams
• Domain Expertise: A strong track record of shipping ML systems at scale, specifically in areas like personalization, recommendation system, information retrieval, or behavioral modeling.
• Product-Minded Engineering: A deep understanding of how technical ML metrics (e.g., accuracy, NDCG, precision-recall) connect to macro user and business metrics (e.g., retention, lifetime value).
• Strategic Communication: Ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical executives and cross-functional partners.
• Technical Foundations: An advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
