  • About The Role

    At Yobi, Applications teams bring the value in our UserBehavioral foundation models to market, creating scalable, highly profitable products with ML at their heart. These Applications products are key to Yobi success, as they ground the value of our R&D, power continuous experimentation and improvement, and provide significant data for improving our core embeddings.

    As an MLE on this team, you will primarily be focused on the models, metrics, pipelines, systems, and services that power and deliver excellence via Yobi Applications products.

    This role involves a large degree of 0to1 development, and will rely on collaboration with Product, core signals MLEs, and leaning on your own expertise and insight in building holistic MLpowered products. While we currently have a product in the market here, we invite big bets to expand impact and reach.

    Significant wearing your Product hat is expected, along with driving results in the many domains required to deliver whole MLpowered products we are a quickly growing startup after all!

    What it takes to succeed in this role:

    • AdTech experience and product intuition for the space

    • • Understanding enough about machine learning to be dangerous but not necessarily published in field

        • Worked on and can speak to some kinds of impactful consumerfacing ML problem, e.g. recommender systems, personalization, etc.

        • • Skill and attitude wise, can quickly contribute to things such as orchestrationAirflow, Bazel (build systems, really), CICD, Spark (we have both Python and Scala), and other SQLy data computation backends as needed. Not everybody is going to be a rockstar on all of these, and we are making novel tech investments across the company, but successful engineers will see opportunity and a path to (first) PR, instead of not my job.

          • Good product sense, has opinions on what we should and shouldn’t be doing both in chasing productmarket fit and on the implementation side.

          • We prioritize attitude, culture, and general (technical) fit over matching perfectly into one of our job descriptions. If our mission and work resonates with you, we encourage you to apply. Tell us how you can help drive our products forward, even if you don’t feel like you are a perfect fit for some of the listings.
