Company mission

To accelerate the creation of knowledge - because with more and better knowledge, there’s no telling how substantially life can improve in the coming generations.

Role

Who you are

  • Exceptional coder: you have experience on writing clean, well-designed, versioned code; you care about good coding practices and terse, testable APIs
  • Problem solver: you thrive on tackling complex, real-world challenges with novel ML approaches
  • Impact-driven: you're motivated by seeing your research translate into tangible business outcomes
  • Collaborative: You enjoy working closely with a team of driven individuals across multiple teams to get things done. You’re willing to both help and ask for help
  • Structured and organized: you can structure a plan, align stakeholders, and see it through to execution
  • Clear communicator: you are able to express yourself clearly and persuasively, both in writing and speech
  • Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field with a focus on Reinforcement Learning. MS with professional experience with RL is fine too

What the job involves

  • Our team is growing! We’re looking for an RL researcher or practitioner who will apply reinforced learning to solve real-world customer communication challenges
  • In this role, you'll work closely with the CTO and Engineering team to improve sample efficiency, test credit assignment and attribution algorithms, investigate and improve our approach to action space featurization, reward shaping, combining RL with constrained optimization, and other interesting challenges
  • Currently, we use ensembles of contextual bandits to achieve high sample efficiency and coordination of decisions, and we’re constantly testing and implementing improvements
  • Improve RL algorithms to increase performance, sample efficiency, and robustness at scale
  • Develop and apply advanced diagnostic tools, including off-policy evaluation methods
  • Conduct research on state-of-the-art RL techniques and their applicability to marketing optimization
  • Implement better monitoring and observability tooling
  • Work closely with engineering teams to improve OfferFit’s platform and develop APIs for OfferFit ML components
  • Participate in customer implementations to gain insights into real-world use cases
  • Contribute to OfferFit’s product strategy and roadmap
  • Tech stack:
  • Data Science/Back End: Python ML ecosystem, Spark, BigQuery, FastAPI
  • Architecture/DevOps: Kubernetes, Airflow, Terraform, GCP
  • Web [not required for this role] : TypeScript, JavaScript, Vue.js and its ecosystem, Node.js, Strapi, PostgreSQL, HTML5, CSS3
  • We write well-tested, type-hinted, documented, modular code and use pre-commit hooks, CI/CD, and issue tracking for development

Our take

In the realm of digital marketing, traditional A/B testing is facing significant challenges in optimizing and personalizing communication strategies. The limitations of this approach, which is employed to measure the effectiveness of different messages among user groups, include scalability issues and the inability to continuously adapt to evolving user behaviors.

OfferFit addresses these industry challenges by leveraging machine learning to revolutionize digital marketing optimization. Unlike traditional A/B testing, OfferFit's approach involves algorithms trained through trial-and-error, akin to how humans learn. This method allows for ongoing adjustments, ensuring continuous optimization over time.

The recent closure of a successful funding round signals a bright future for OfferFit. This significant investment will be channeled into expanding the platform's research and development, and strengthening sales and marketing operations. As the company secures additional support and proves its value to large customers, it aims to solidify its position as a trailblazer in automated, personalized marketing at scale.
