The Personalization Data Engineering and Analytics team is dedicated to supporting the algorithm research/engineering teams at Netflix. As part of Netflix's greater personalization efforts we partner with leading researchers to determine the best way (through algorithm development and data) to make each user's experience unique and customized. In this role, you will have the opportunity to cover a broad array of disciplines. This can include (and is not limited to) understanding how our customers interact with our ranking algorithms, surfacing critical insights about algorithm performance, and judging the efficacy of many complementary/competing algorithms.
The perfect person will have a background in a quantitative/technical field, and a rich history of answering questions using web-scale datasets.
Responsibilities:
• Identify failure modes. You will be partnering with algorithm leaders to research opportunities to improve the user experience. It is expected that you’ll become an expert in how ML algorithms are implemented at Netflix and look for weaknesses in the current implementation.
• Size and Scope. New opportunities for our recommendation algorithms.
• Measure algorithm performance. You will need to create new methods for describing how ML algorithms are performing, and summarize findings in easily consumable formats.
Skills & Characteristics:
• You have general knowledge of predictive modeling and algorithms.
• You have the ability to see both sides of an argument, and successfully argue for either side. You’re comfortable taking a position.
• You're ambitious and willing to take action, but not stubborn. You recognize when you're wrong and move past your own mistakes.
• You are a well-rounded, top performer who is able to process data at scale and work strategically with algorithm partners.
• You leave your desk & collaborate. You recognize the value in face-to-face contact. (Not to be mistaken with extroversion.)
• You are curious. You learn eagerly about new concepts and tools.
• You're comfortable working in a variety of tech stacks (e.g. SQL, Scala, Python), and you strive to write beautiful code.
