About the role

Promoted is hiring a staff machine learning engineer with experience
with social media, e-commerce, and ads recommendations. We are
especially interested in people with search relevance modeling and
experience with text, image embeddings, and event-sequence modeling.
We expect that you have experience with training and deploying
production models in Python and C++. An ideal candidate will know
that past engagement is the best predictor of future engagement, that
GBDT is usually the best model for a few hundred features on
medium-sized data but has successfully used neural networks in
production, and knows the hell of forever A/B testing -0.1% loss
improvements in launch reviews and aspires to do more.

If you:

 1. worked in search, ranking, or ads engineering at Facebook or
    Google or similar companies and know what good looks like
 2. then worked at newer top companies trying to build ads
 3. are disenchanted with the short-term thinking and know you can do
    better

then you could be a great fit for us. Experience tech leading search,
discovery, or recommendations at top USA companies are also good
fits.

Marketplaces: Snackpass (#68), Hipcamp (#40), Outschool (#10), and

Combinator Continuity. We're all ex-Facebook and Google ads
engineers, and we've built this before together.

we would sort search and promote the best listings at the top to
increase revenue. We are building a first-party-everywhere ad
network. We are all ex-Facebook and Google ads engineers, and we have
built this before together.
