About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience building production machine learning systems, including feature pipelines, training data generation, and batch inference.
  • Strong SQL and Python skills, plus experience with large-scale data processing such as Flume, Beam, Spark, or similar tools.
  • Experience designing feature schemas or working on a feature store, with understanding of point-in-time correctness and train/serve skew gained through fixing them.
  • Experience productionizing and owning the lifecycle of an existing offline model.
  • Experience working with data scientists and translating feature requests into specifications.

Responsibilities

  • Own the feature layer between the Growth database and models; work with data engineering on schema design for machine-learning features and with data science to create versioned feature definitions used by training and scoring.
  • Build point-in-time-correct training data so retraining reflects each day as it was and avoids future-data leakage.
  • Productionize models trained by data science by validating them against offline results, integrating them into batch scoring, and adding input and output checks that prevent faulty runs from affecting promotions.
  • Lead training automation, including scheduled retraining, a model registry, and validation before promoting new model versions.
  • Monitor production models for feature drift, score-distribution shifts, and model-versus-random-arm results.
  • Serve as data science's day-to-day engineering counterpart for feature and modeling questions.

Desired Qualifications

  • Background in uplift modeling, causal inference, or experimentation such as A/B tests and holdouts, sufficient to understand model requirements.
  • Experience in ads, marketing, recommendations, pricing, or promotions.
  • Familiarity with feature stores, workflow orchestration such as Airflow, and distributed SQL databases.

About the Company

Waymo

Builds self-driving AI and runs a robotaxi service

Waymo builds self-driving technology and uses it to run a ride-hailing service in which passengers summon electric cars with no one behind the wheel. In 2020, it became the first company to open fully driverless rides to the public, starting in metro Phoenix. Its system, the Waymo Driver, pairs cameras, radar and laser sensors called lidar with onboard computers whose AI predicts what nearby people and vehicles will do and drives the car. Riders pay per trip through the Waymo app, or through Uber in some cities, while Waymo and fleet partners keep the cars charged and maintained. Waymo began as a Google project in 2009 and became a separate Alphabet company in 2016; it is based in Mountain View, California.
