Summary from the posting
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on the Ads Response Prediction team, you will own and execute the development of ML models that power Instacart's ads ecosystem. This is a research-leaning role focused on theoretical problem formulation, training methodology, and model quality rather than infrastructure or full-stack engineering. You will work on meaningful challenges in pCTR modeling such as mitigating selection bias, position bias, and optimizer's curse in training data, improving model calibration across surfaces and domains, and advancing our multi-task learning and sequence modeling capabilities.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Instacart's own career page.
