Senior Machine Learning Engineer
New York City
About Orita
Direct-to-consumer brands pay us, in order to market less.
Well, technically, they pay us to market more effectively. And, strangely (!), that often means marketing a lot less.
How? We use a lot of math and a lot of machine learning to decide which people on their subscriber lists actually want to hear from them right now.
When you do this, two things happen. Brands save a ton of money. And their deliverability improves (hello inbox, goodbye spam filter!).
Fewer messages sent + higher chance they will be seen = ROI goes way up.
Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s not. You try getting marketers to be less market-y. It’s way easier to “play it safe” and email everyone all the time. Our math has to be that good.
But you said there would be math. Yes. We said there would be math.
And that’s where you come in. We need people with amazing neural networks in their heads to help program our artificial ones. You’ll be one of the founding members of our machine learning team. You’ll have a huge impact on our product, our culture, and building something great from the ground up. It will be a lot of fun.
About The Role:
You will be on a team of ML engineers, reporting to our CTO Zack (he has a Master’s in CS from Georgia Tech) and working closely with our CEO and Head of Product Daniel (he has a PhD in Neurobiology and has built data science teams for a decade). We look like a SaaS company, but we’re really building the data science and machine learning company to support the world’s best brands.
As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will:
Create models that drive a ton of value for our customers
Build a robust and scalable ML infrastructure to deploy those models in production
Iterate, iterate, iterate
Your Ideal Background:
Please apply even if you don’t meet every requirement
Ph.D. in some fancy field AND 5 years full-time Software Engineering work experience OR 8-10 years full-time Software Engineering work experience from which at least 5 years working on Machine Learning systems/platforms/applications
Strong understanding of modern machine-learning approaches and algorithms
Knowledge of Python, including corresponding scientific libs (numpy, pandas, etc.)
Experience working with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, Spark ML, scikit-learn, etc.)
Experience working with machine learning infrastructures and scalable system design
Able to prioritize duties and work well on your own
Experience owning problems end-to-end, with a willingness to pick up whatever knowledge is missing to get the job done.
Bonus points for experience in the following:
Optimization (RL/Bayes/Bandits)
Graph machine learning
Causal inference
Natural language processing
Time series analysis
Where you’ll work: Remotely in the NYC Area, with occasional in-person meetings until we get a coworking space in the future.
