Machine Learning Engineer
The Search and Machine Learning team at Vimeo is focused on developing, deploying, and maintaining machine learning driven solutions at Vimeo. Join us and help bring our feature ideas (and your own!) off the whiteboard and into reality. As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will research improvements in data collection, feature engineering, and algorithmic optimization. You will also work on implementing your models in production systems and data pipelines.
What You'll Do:
- Work with high-level applications of Machine Learning:
Video Understanding: Use Deep Learning and Recurrent Neural Networks to identify people, things, and styles within our 300M+ Videos
Text Understanding: Use NLP and Entity Extraction to extract key features from Video descriptions, tags, profiles and album descriptions for use in search
Visual Search: Create feature embeddings that allow users to search for similar stock videos with images and videos (in addition to text search)
Recommendations: Make it easy for users to connect to the best content, creators, and audience
Personalization: Optimize a user's experience based on what we know about their preferences and history
Ranking: Prioritize most important search results, notifications, and news feed items that we should show a given user
- Design and build machine learning systems that solve difficult problems involving big data, information retrieval, video understanding, ranking, and recommendation systems
- Write, test and maintain production-quality ML models and services at Vimeo scale (200TB of data per month)
- Study and analyze problems, propose solutions and design experiments
Skills and knowledge you should possess:
- Masters in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years experience with Python
- Strong knowledge of ML techniques including both supervised and unsupervised learning, classification, regression, and optimization
- Experience with TensorFlow, PyTorch, SKLearn, XGBoost or similar libraries
Bonus Points:
- Experience delivering Computer Vision, Video Understanding, Personalization and/or Recommendation solutions to users at scale
- Experience shipping models into a high availability production environment
- Docker experience
- Experience with data processing / ETL tools at scale like Spark, HDFS, Apache Beam, etc
- Experience optimizing search via Solr / Elasticsearch and/or nearest neighbors via Annoy / FAISS
- Experience with
- Go and C / C++
- A strong mathematical background (Probability and Statistics)
- PhD with publications in top-tier conferences or journals in ML (such as NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, SIGGRAPH)
