About the role

We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.

Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.

A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.

Job description

View original posting ↗

The Productivity and Machine Learning Evaluation team ensures the quality of AI-powered features across a suite of productivity and creative applications; including Creator Studio, used by hundreds of millions of people. This team serves as the primary evaluation function, providing critical quality signals that directly influence model development decisions and product launches. This role focuses on building and scaling automated evaluation systems and designing adversarial and stress-testing methodologies across multiple AI features. The work requires a deep understanding of how AI systems fail and how to measure quality rigorously. As features evolve from single-turn interactions into multi-turn, agentic experiences, the evaluation challenge shifts from assessing individual outputs to stress-testing entire conversation flows and agent decision chains. This is an opportunity to shape the evaluation infrastructure that determines whether AI features meet the bar for hundreds of millions of users.
