Role
Who you are
- 15+ years of Technical Leadership Experience
- Proven ability to lead ML initiatives, mentor engineers, and communicate complex concepts to cross-functional teams
- Expertise in Graph Neural Networks, collaborative filtering, knowledge graphs, and deep learning for recommendations
- Understanding of graph theory, network science, and representation learning technique
- Strong coding skills in Python and experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch Geometric (PyG), Deep Graph Library (DGL), TensorFlow, and scikit-learn
- Solid understanding of ML infrastructure components and libraries (data parallel, model parallel, pipeline parallel, torch.inductor, model pruning, etc.) enabling efficient distributed training and inference
What the job involves
- The LS Embedding team will focus on building highly expressive multi-entity large scale embeddings exploring architectures beyond standard two-tower approaches to enhance our recommendation systems at Reddit
- This entails modelling various compound interactions and relationships between users and entities they interact with using Graphs and exploring Graph neural networks and transformers to encode them
- We are looking for a Principal Machine Learning Engineer to lead the design and architecture of GNN and transformers based multi-entity embedding generation actively participating in end-to-end implementation process including enabling efficient distributed training and serving for such architectures shaping the future of recommendation systems at Reddit
- Lead the team that architects and designs GNN and transformers based multi-entity embedding generation
- Define the technical roadmap and plan of execution in collaboration with Xfn partners
- Develop and optimize large-scale graph-based machine learning pipelines for recommendation systems
- Architect scalable and efficient GNN and transformers-based recommendation models that can process complex, interconnected data structures
- Collaborate with cross functional business units such as Ads teams leveraging the models for upstream functions and improve relevance metrics
- Collaborate with ML Infrastructure teams to enable distributed GPU based training and online serving architecture
- Lead feature engineering efforts to identify and curate expressive raw data to be used for creating embeddings
- Be a mentor and cross-functional advocate for the team
- Contribute towards team and product strategy, operations and execution at Reddit
Our take
Reddit is a website that facilitates thousands of message board communities, known as subreddits, with an aim to promote authentic human connection. There are more than 100,000 communities on Reddit, covering everything, from food, entertainment, sports, and books, to more niche topics that cater for very specific audiences.
The simple platform is used by more than 52 million people a day and attracts over 50 billion monthly views. While these are impressive numbers, they do pale in comparison with social media giants Facebook and Twitter, however, Reddit distinguishes itself by providing easy-to-find communities for a truly endless range of topics.
Reddit makes money through advertising as well as offering a premium ad-free membership plan. The company has enjoyed continuous user & revenue growth, acquisitions by Conde Nast in 2006 and Advance in 2011, and plans to launch an IPO bid in 2024.
