Auto-ApplyStaff Applied Machine Learning Scientist
Remote principal research scientist job
Medium's mission is to deepen understanding of the world and spread ideas that matter. We are building the best place for reading and writing on the internet-a place where today's smartest writers, thinkers, experts, and storytellers can share big, interesting ideas; a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers.
Role Overview
One of Medium's core operating principles is “humans first,” but sometimes to do that we need a little help from machine learning-which is why Medium is looking for an experienced Staff Applied ML Scientist to join our team. First and foremost, you'll own Medium's recommendation systems, which serves millions of readers every day by parsing through an ocean of posts and curating perfect literary pearls for each of them. Under the hood, it's a sophisticated and modern ML pipeline, fueled by a two-tower model and separate deep retrieval and ranking stages.
Beyond recommendations, you'll also develop ML models to protect our readers from the burgeoning world of AI slop and spam, explore and evangelize new applications for machine learning across Medium's business, and leverage machine learning to ensure that Medium always puts humans first.
Key Responsibilities
You'll help us apply machine learning thoughtfully across Medium - starting with recommendations, but extending far beyond them. You'll look for places where ML can make the reading and writing experience more personal, relevant, and human.
Experiment with ideas like smarter
post discovery
that helps writers find their natural audience.
Explore opportunities for personalization, quality detection, topic modeling, or even AI-assisted editorial curation - all grounded in improving understanding, not chasing engagement for its own sake.
Work closely with design, product, and engineering partners to translate ambiguous user needs into well-framed ML problems.
Drive the research. Lead with curiosity and precision. You'll design and interpret experiments, bring statistical rigor to our experimentation, and keep a critical eye on things like bias and spurious correlation in our thinking.
Bring organizational leverage. Work across teams to ensure that ML improvements are well-integrated into the product, not off to the side. You'll regularly influence decision-making through cross-functional collaboration, helping product and engineering leaders spot where ML can create leverage and where it shouldn't.
Own and continuously improve our recommendation systems. Evolve our two-tower retrieval and ranking stack, refine our feature set, and push on model quality, latency, and interpretability.
Find new and innovative ways to use ML techniques to better serve our community of readers and writers. This might mean smarter spam and slop detection, writer quality modeling, or intelligent routing of human moderation. The goal: keep Medium a place where humans thrive, not bots.
Positively contribute to the broader culture and data ecosystem at Medium. Mentor others, document your work with clarity, and help raise the bar for how we think about, design, and deploy ML systems. Share learnings generously and make the people and systems around you better.
Attend Medium's twice-yearly, in-person offsites (hosted in locations around the U.S.).
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
You've been designing and building software for at least 7 years, with at least 3 years focused on architecting and shipping consumer-facing ML models.
You have experience integrating ML into end-user products (recommendation, ranking, personalization, moderation). You have a proven track record of developing and deploying ML models that deliver measurable business and user impact, not just theoretical gains.
You embody the “applied” in applied ML: You enjoy the research, but love seeing models ship, move metrics, and make people's experiences better.
You're fluent in Python and ML libraries such as TensorFlow, HuggingFace Transformers, and scikit-learn. You're comfortable taking models from notebook to production. It's a huge added bonus if you have experience with Apache Spark for distributed or large-scale training.
You're an excellent collaborator, able to translate between data, product, design, and engineering worlds, helping non-ML partners see what's possible (and what's not). You're excited to be “the voice of ML” in business and product conversations.
You're skilled at identifying and evangelizing high-leverage ML opportunities across the organization, from recommendation systems to new personalization or quality signals.
You have hands-on experience with modern model architectures and techniques e.g., feature interaction modeling, advanced negative sampling and bias correction techniques, and efficient large-scale candidate retrieval.
(Bonus) You're curious about content discovery, publishing, or online communities, and have a soft spot for writing, ideas, and helping great work get found.
Nice to Haves
Experience with modern recommender systems.
Experience utilizing modern AI tooling to accelerate development efforts.
A passion for online writing, publishing, or long-form content.
Familiarity with Medium, as a reader, writer, or both!
Benefits
In addition to the new skills you'll pick up, here's what else you'll enjoy by working at Medium:
Working with a fully distributed team: We're fully remote and have teammates across the U.S. & France.
Healthcare benefits covered at 100% for employees and 70% for dependents.
Generous parental leave policy.
Mental health support through Talkspace.
Financial wellness support through Northstar.
Stipends for co-working, professional development, wifi, and a one-time home office bonus.
Unlimited PTO and standard company holidays.
A discounted Medium membership!
At Medium, inclusion, diversity, and equity are core to how we work and what we build. We believe a more inclusive team creates a better product-one that's intuitive, thoughtful, and serves a wide range of users. We strive to foster a supportive, fun, and challenging environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive.

Our hiring process is built to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for everyone. Even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you-your perspective and passion matter more than checking every box.

Auto-ApplySenior Researcher
Remote principal research scientist job
GiveWell is a research organization that identifies and funds cost-effective giving opportunities, focusing on global health and well-being. Our work is funded by tens of thousands of donors who rely on our research to inform their giving. We've grown from directing $1.5 million in 2010 to directing nearly $400 million in 2024.
Summary
GiveWell is seeking exceptional Senior Researchers to help us direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the most cost-effective global health and poverty alleviation programs. As part of our lean research team, you will have an outsized influence on our funding decisions and help us save and improve lives on a global scale.
You'll create and lead ambitious research agendas, answer complex questions, and inform high-impact grantmaking decisions by combining rigorous evidence review, cost-effectiveness modeling, and thoughtful judgment.
Some Senior Researchers may eventually choose to transition into an equivalently-leveled Program Officer role to lead a large grantmaking portfolio, while others choose to stay focused on leading significant research agendas. We're open to a wide variety of internal development options depending on your preferences and our needs.
The role
Senior Researchers are the intellectual leaders of GiveWell's work. In this role, you'll join a small senior team in setting ambitious research agendas, sifting through the countless questions we could try to answer and honing in on those that matter most. Your decisions will inform the allocation of hundreds of millions of dollars to dozens of grantees. You'll also communicate externally about our work and mentor and advise other members of the team.
You will shape a research agenda that brings rigor and creativity to the thorniest questions GiveWell faces. You'll execute that agenda by combining thorough review of empirical evidence, cost-effectiveness modeling, discussions with subject matter experts, understanding of the broader context, and your own judgment. In the course of your work, you might approach questions like these:
What should we believe about the impacts of improved water quality on all-cause mortality?
What is the impact of building footbridges in rural communities?
How can we model the general equilibrium effects of cash transfers?
How should we prioritize programs that reduce poverty relative to programs that reduce deaths?
How should we think about the opportunity cost of other actors' contributions to programs we fund?
How should we account for high levels of uncertainty in our cost-effectiveness estimates?
How do we use effects from trials conducted 30 to 40 years ago to predict impacts today?
After gaining experience on the team, Senior Researchers pursue a few pathways for career development based on their preferences and GiveWell's needs. Some choose to develop wider and more autonomous research agendas as individual contributors, while others take on people management responsibilities. Another potential pathway is to transition into a Program Officer role, which is a lateral move-we don't conceptualize the Senior Researcher role as a training ground for program work. All of GiveWell's Program Officers are also researchers with strong technical training and a penchant for sketching out a model when they're not sure how to approach a problem.
Program Officers typically own high-impact, cost-effective grantmaking portfolios by deepening their expertise, growing their networks, and understanding the broader context within a specific grantmaking area. They think through questions like:
How should we balance exploring and seeding new, smaller opportunities with funding cost-effective opportunities at scale today?
How can we triangulate empirical evidence against expert opinion on other qualitative features, like organizational track record?
What is research we can fund today that could substantially impact our grantmaking five years from now?
How much uncertainty are we willing to accept before making a grant? What key research questions do we need to answer before making a grant, and which ones can we deprioritize or answer later?
Team structure
Our research department has nearly 50 people, and is currently organized into eight teams:
Five of the teams (Water, Livelihoods, Nutrition, Malaria, and Vaccines) focus on specific areas of grantmaking.
The New Areas team focuses on interventions in domains that are new to GiveWell.
The Cross-Cutting team focuses on methodological issues, research quality, and other big-picture concerns that cut across all of our research work.
The Commons team provides generalized research support to each of the other teams, including landscaping research, vetting, and publishing.
In most cases, we hire Senior Researchers without knowing which subteam they'll eventually sit on. We aim to expose our new senior team members to different types of work and parts of the team over several months to inform their eventual subteam placement. (We might settle on a subteam more quickly if new hires bring specific, specialized expertise.)
Team values
We think our research team has unique qualities:
We care deeply and centrally about finding and sharing truth. Truth-seeking is one of our core values. We post our mistakes and we prize our team members who keep our culture of free-flowing feedback strong.
We are independent. We focus 100% on finding the most cost-effective opportunities to save and improve lives. Our researchers assist in communicating our research findings to the public and our donors, and on occasion we provide tailored advice to ultra-high-net-worth donors who want to rely on our expertise to direct their giving-but we never ask our researchers to trade off against honesty, or to hide their real beliefs.
We don't waste time. Once it's clear that a particular research question is unlikely to change our bottom-line funding recommendation, we drop it as quickly as possible. We encourage our research staff to constantly re-evaluate their portfolios and only work on the highest-priority questions.
Lean research team = huge personal impact. Our research team of just under 50 people directs hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
We work well together. Our research team is lean because we're able to attract top-tier people, all of whom complete skills-based assessments before joining our staff. We maintain a high-performing, collegial culture and pay our staff accordingly.
About you
Senior Researchers must have quantitatively-oriented advanced degrees and substantial relevant experience using empirical tools to make rigorous, evidence-based decisions in the real world. Practically, our senior research staff typically has 5-10 years of post-grad work experience prior to joining GiveWell. We're happy to consider applicants who do not have advanced degrees, but we'll look for a commensurate amount of relevant experience. You can review our staff bios here for more practical insight on the backgrounds and experience of our current team.
We expect that people with the soft qualities below will be the most successful and happy on our team. This isn't a full list, but hopefully it conveys the gist of our team's professional personality:
GiveWell's mission and methods are personally energizing-you like our approach to research and you find personal meaning in our story of impact.
You're abnormally curious-you ask lots of questions, and you're willing to interrogate others' work. Your curiosity also extends to your own work-you aren't defensive when your research comes under scrutiny.
You routinely think about and surface the value judgments, background knowledge, and strategic commitments that undergird your work. You understand the potential effects of mistaken mental models, so you strive to improve yours and your team's.
You dislike it when people express strong confidence in views that don't seem to rely on commensurate evidence. You carefully and legibly communicate about your confidence levels.
You appreciate the value of an excellent reputation and strong relationships. You can moderate your directness and intensity when you're communicating with external folks.
You love a gnarly problem. You figure out the most important questions to answer, go deep on the details where they matter (and move on where they don't), and reassess your mental models based on what you've learned.
You constantly assess whether you and the team are working on the most important things.

About GiveWell
GiveWell is dedicated to finding and funding outstanding giving opportunities in global health and development, sharing the full details of our analysis with everyone for free. Our giving funds enable donors to contribute to the most impactful and cost-effective programs our researchers identify.
Since 2007, we've directed over $2.6 billion to cost-effective programs and interventions. In the last two years, we've made more than $500 million in grants. GiveWell is one of the world's largest private funders of global development efforts, and we estimate that the funding we've directed will save more than 340,000 lives.
GiveWell is most well-known for recommending a small number of Top Charities, which currently support seasonal malaria chemoprevention, antimalarial nets, vaccine incentivization, and vitamin A supplementation. However, most of our research capacity is devoted to finding cost-effective opportunities outside of those programs.
GiveWell grants have:
Helped governments to implement high-impact health programs, like in-line chlorination of drinking water in India and HIV/syphilis screening and treatment for pregnant people in Zambia and Cameroon.
Funded program delivery alongside strengthened monitoring and evaluation, as in our grants to support treatment of clubfoot and to evaluate the program.
Sought to scope and scale promising interventions that don't have clear existing implementers. We are supporting the Clinton Health Access Initiative's Incubator and Evidence Action's Accelerator to identify potentially cost-effective interventions and create programs that we would be excited to support in the future. For example, we funded a program to provide diarrhea treatment to children in Nigeria that we co-designed with CHAI through the Incubator program.
Tested our assumptions through further research, including studies on the effect of water chlorination on mortality, the impact of a tree-planting program on farmers' income, and the effects of combining the RTS,S malaria vaccine and perennial malaria chemoprevention.
We never take for granted that GiveWell's work is good for the world. We make our reasoning public and transparent so others can challenge it (sometimes we even pay people to point out our errors). We go to unusual lengths to check our assumptions and assess our impact, including funding research and external analysis to address our uncertainties and insisting that our grantees conduct rigorous monitoring and evaluation. We change our minds when the evidence demands it.
Additional information
We don't want to miss candidates that could do great things at GiveWell. Practically, that means a GiveWell staff member reviews every application carefully, considering the whole picture of your background and potential. If you're on the fence about applying because you meet some but not 100% of our preferred qualifications (some studies suggest this hesitation is especially common for women and people of color), we encourage you to apply anyway.
