Quora is a privately held, “remote-first” company This position can be performed remotely from anywhere in the US or Canada. Quora’s mission is to grow the world’s collective intelligence. Poe a cloud workspace where millions of users run multiple AI agents on shared context and tools. Our ML team is small and highly collaborative, working on challenging problems that impact hundreds of millions of Quora users. With over 100 ML models in production, engineers have opportunities to take ownership of meaningful projects, work closely with experienced teammates, and quickly see the impact of their work.

We’re building the next generation of AI-powered systems to improve content quality and safety across Quora. By leveraging LLMs and agentic workflows, we’re transforming how we detect harmful content, automate complex decisions, and respond to evolving challenges at scale. As a Machine Learning Engineer (New Grad), you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to design, evaluate, and deploy these systems in production.

No previous trust and safety experience is required. Stack: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Spark, Kubernetes
