About the Role

Role Overview

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you'll significantly advance our machine learning, directly impacting high-profile mobile games. You'll research, prototype, develop, and deploy ML models to optimize in-game experiences like dynamic difficulty, LTV prediction, and smart ad targeting. Working in an agile team, you'll translate data into scalable solutions that boost player engagement and business performance.
This role offers a unique chance to work on impactful projects across major games, with technology autonomy. Your visible contributions will shape the future of ML here. With models already live, you'll continuously refine our AI features.
We seek a proactive, curious individual comfortable driving end-to-end projects. You need solid production ML experience, including deployment and pipeline development, plus confidence in communicating technical concepts. A passion for gaming and innovation in a collaborative setting are crucial.
