If you are looking for an opportunity to develop innovative solutions to deep technical problems in web-scale IR, having a massive customer impact, this might be the role for you! As a Applied Scientist, you will work with smart, passionate colleagues in a fast-paced environment. You will invent, develop, and help deploy novel, scalable algorithms to advance the state-of-the-art in our IR stack. You will keep up with relevant research in the field of IR and publish your work in top-tier conferences. You will develop and help lead the execution of multi-year research roadmaps, enabling the team to focus on the right technical challenges to delight our customers.Key job responsibilities
As an Applied Scientist, you will apply scientific rigor to your work. You will deliver incrementally, setting up and executing experiments informed by rigorous failure space analysis of prior experiments. You have a knack for writing clear, succinct and informative reports of your experiments. You collaborate and seek guidance from other scientists on your team to define the next experiments. You collaborate closely with engineers to bring your innovations into production. You will continuously with customers and stakeholders to simplify and adapt to deliver for our customers. You will develop state-of-the-art web search technology, including training novel retrieval and ranking models, scaling models and optimizing performance, partnering with engineering to deploy and debug model performance in production, and building and scaling quality training data sets.
