We are looking for a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to drive the ML charter for our streaming
platform that serves our entertainment business serving liveTV, movies, TV shows, and
microdramas to millions of viewers. You will own the recommendation and search stack end to
end, from data pipelines and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and low latency
online serving. This is a hybrid role where you will operate as a strong individual contributor while
also leading a team of DS and ML engineers. You will partner closely with Product, Engineering
and Data teams to translate ambiguous business goals into crisp ML problem statements and
measurable outcomes. The focus is purely on content discovery, personalization, and search
quality that delights the viewer.
What You Will Do
Own DS, AI and ML projects end to end. This includes designing ETL pipelines, feature
stores, training workflows, evaluation frameworks, and production deployment while
meeting strict SLAs for real time inference.

Lead a team of ML engineers. Set technical direction, review designs and code,



grow the
craft of the team, and unblock delivery.

Operate as an individual contributor on the hardest problems. Prototype models, run
offline and online experiments, and ship them to production yourself when needed.

Solid hands on knowledge of retrieval and ranking models, and bandits, with the ability
to reason about when to use each in a recommendation or search stack.

Convert fuzzy business requirements into well scoped ML requirements. Define success
metrics, guardrails, and experimentation plans in partnership with Product.

Build and evolve the recommendation and search systems across liveTV, movies, TV
shows, and microdramas. This spans candidate generation, ranking, re ranking, cold start
handling, and personalization.

Work cross functionally with Data Engineering, Platform, Backend, and Product. Represent
the ML team in external forums, design reviews, and leadership updates.
