The Impact You’ll Make
You will be part of an avid and impactful team building data-intensive products, working with data and features, building machine learning models, and sharing insights around data and experiments. You will be working closely with the product team and the Data Science team on a daily basis. Finally, you will help build the foundational patterns that ML engineers will use for years to come as we introduce more and more machine learning into our platform.
- Help build a scalable and reliable machine learning platform that manages features, model training, testing, and deployment
- Collect and gather datasets to build machine learning models that make real-time decisions for the Nextdoor platform
- Deploy ML models into production environments and integrate them into the product
- Run and analyze live user-facing experiments to iterate on model quality by measuring impact on business metrics
- Collaborate with other engineers and data scientists to create optimal experiences on the platform
What You’ll Bring To The Team
- Master’s Degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Applied Math, Statistics, or a related field
- Deep understanding of machine learning concepts (e.g. deep learning) and applications (e.g. recommender systems, knowledge graph)
- Internship in machine learning engineering in a related field (e.g. social networking, e-commerce)
- Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or Scala
- Effective communication and collaboration skills
- Ability to be flexible and adaptable in a fast-paced startup environment
- Desire to learn about new technologies and systems
- Passion for the Nextdoor’s mission and purpose
Bonus Points
- Industry experience of applying machine learning at scale
At Nextdoor, we empower our employees to build stronger local communities.
