We will prioritize candidates who are able to commit to these start dates. Please state your availability and graduation date clearly in your resume.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We encourage you to apply early.
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy ML models to power personalized e-commerce recommendations
