  • Experience with Elasticsearch, data warehousing, and machine learning systems or working closely with ML teams.
  • Agile, collaborative mindset with strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a remote, cross-functional team.
  • Preferred: experience building or scaling content discovery or recommendation systems, working with social graphs or user-generated content, or prior involvement in consumer products, e-commerce, marketplaces, VR, or online communities.
