Full job description
Perplexity is seeking an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to improve search quality across the middle and later stages of ranking. We are looking for a strong ranking generalist who can own ambiguous problems end to end and brings exceptional depth in either neural ranking or production ranking systems. Responsibilities
- Relentlessly push search quality forward through models, data, evaluation, infrastructure, or any other leverage available.
- Own ranking-quality problems end to end: define the evaluation, identify the bottleneck, build the solution, and ship it safely.
- Train and evaluate retrieval, ranking, and classification models, including neural and LLM-based approaches where appropriate.
- Build and operate ranking infrastructure, including feature computation, low-latency inference, multi-stage cascades, deployment, and monitoring.
- Make sound trade-offs across quality, latency, reliability, cost, and engineering complexity.
- Collaborate across Data, AI, Infrastructure, and Product while retaining ownership of the final quality outcome. Qualifications
- Deep understanding of search or recommender systems and their evaluation.
- Proven ownership of a large-scale production ranking system or a substantial class of quality problems.
- Strong machine-learning and software-engineering skills across data, models, serving, and monitoring.
- Ability to drive ambiguous, cross-team problems without continuous task decomposition.
- Exceptional depth in either modern neural ranking methods or low-latency ranking systems and runtime.
- Minimum 5 years of relevant industry experience.
