Why this role is remarkable
- Directly impact a music-centric social graph that already sees higher engagement than Instagram and Snapchat among its 1 million monthly active users.
- Join an elite team of creatives and technologists from Nike, Instagram, and Apple, backed by the legendary investors behind Spotify, Facebook, and A24.
- Take total ownership of the full ML lifecycle—from data pipelines and candidate generation to production serving—without the constraints of a separate platform team.
What You Will Do
- Design and ship end-to-end ranking and retrieval models for content feeds, balancing engagement, discovery, and growth for artists and superfans.
- Build sophisticated people recommendation systems using social graph modeling and affinity analysis to spark millions of new friendships and connections.
- Develop and scale ML-driven trust and safety systems, including content classification and abuse detection, to protect a rapidly expanding global community.
The ideal candidate
- Proven experience shipping recommendation, ranking, or search systems at scale within a high-growth consumer social or music streaming environment.
- Deep technical proficiency in Python and the modern ML stack, with the ability to build and maintain your own data and serving infrastructure.
- A pragmatic, shipping-focused mindset that prioritizes iterative improvement and rigorous A/B testing over theoretical polishing in a vacuum.
