Machine Learning Engineer

Founded in 2009, Dribbble is the top global community for designers and creative professionals and an inspiration destination for over a hundred million people every year. We're empowering creatives around the world to make a living doing what they love. Our mission is to provide support at every stage of a creative's journey; whether that's freelancing, selling their physical and digital goods on our marketplace, or being hired by some of the world's leading design-forward companies.

With many jobs, you have to pick between having a huge impact on the organization (small team) or having a huge impact on the world (big product), but at Dribbble - you get to do both, as part of a highly collaborative team, working on one of the world's top 1000 websites.

At Dribbble, we serve a global community and we need a diverse team to do that successfully. Women, people of colour, members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. We provide an accessible candidate experience, and if you need any accommodations or adjustments throughout the interview process and beyond, please let us know. We're dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment for employees from all walks of life.

We’re building a fully remote team across North America (Canada & the US). We believe that creative collaboration can happen anywhere, and that working remotely shouldn’t have to mean sacrificing a sense of cohesion, community, and connection. We've seen that by combining thoughtful collaboration, frequent communication, and the freedom for people to be their authentic selves, you can do your best work and inspire others to do the same.

About the role:

At Dribbble, the Data team supports the entire organization along two core pillars.

1. Analytics: Enabling access to modelled, tested, and documented data, providing insightful reporting, supporting decision-making through research and analysis, and operationalizing analytics by deploying data to a collection of tools used by other functional teams internally.

2. Machine Learning: Developing production-facing solutions including search engines, ad serving, recommendation systems, content ranking systems, fraud detection, and more.

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to expand our data product and bring new machine learning solutions to production. Dribbble has access to rich sources of user content and behaviour that we want to leverage to support our mission of empowering designers and creative professionals in their journey.

Experience with some of these frameworks and technologies is a plus: Flask, Celery, SQLAlchemy, Numpy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow.
• Machine Learning experience. You have experience designing, training, and deploying statistical and machine learning models using frameworks such as Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Gensim, statsmodels.
