Remote Machine Learning scientist jobs

About the role: We, at Turing, are looking for talented Machine Learning scientists who can help solve a range of exciting problems. We offer the best ML jobs that provide candidates a unique opportunity to make an impact by applying advanced machine learning concepts to our products.

About Turing.com: Turing’s mission is to unleash the world’s untapped human potential. We use AI to source, evaluate, hire, onboard, and manage engineers remotely (including the HR and compliance aspects) in a bigger platform that we call the “Talent Cloud”.

We recently achieved unicorn status with a valuation of $1.1B, after raising over $140M in financing over four rounds of funding. 900+ companies including companies like Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Dell, Disney +, and Coinbase have hired Turing developers.

Responsibilities:

• Enhance our existing machine learning systems using your core coding skills and ML knowledge
• Take end to end ownership of machine learning systems - from data pipelines, feature engineering, candidate extraction, model training, as well as integration into our production systems
• Utilize state-of-the-art ML modeling techniques to predict user interactions and the direct impact on the company’s top-line metrics
• Design features and builds large scale recommendation systems to improve targeting and engagement
• Identify new opportunities to apply machine learning to different parts of our product(s) to drive value for our customers

Requirements:

• BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a relevant technical field (AI/ML preferred)
• Extensive experience building scalable machine learning systems and data-driven products working with cross-functional teams
• Expertise in machine learning fundamentals, applicable to search - Learning to Rank, Deep Learning, Tree-Based Models, Recommendation Systems, Relevance, and Data mining, understanding of NLP approaches like W2V or Bert
