Responsibilities Own the end-to-end algorithm development lifecycle, including problem formulation, solution design, experimental validation, and online deployment. Leverage data analysis and algorithmic innovation to optimize model inference performance, enhance monitoring systems, and continuously improve both monetization efficiency and user experience within the advertising platform. Identify potential issues and optimization opportunities across the ad delivery system. Actively participate in technical discussions, stay proactive in learning, and apply new technologies to solve real-world problems. Track cutting-edge research in machine learning and incorporate advanced techniques into practical adtech applications. Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI, Mathematics, Physics, or a closely related technical field; strong academic background preferred. Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to abstract complex problems, build models, and analyze large datasets. Strong engineering fundamentals and production-quality coding skills (Python, C++, or related languages). Self-driven, resilient, and able to navigate challenging problems with a proactive mindset. Hands-on experience with optimizing ad systems end-to-end, and understanding system behavior through data loops and feedback cycles. Practical experience with feature engineering, model architecture design, and sample distribution analysis; background in generative recommendation or LLM-based approaches is a plus. Experience in RTB and ads strategies, such as cold-start optimization, budget pacing, calibration, or bidding strategies, is strongly preferred.
