Job Description
Machine Learning Engineer – Applied, Product
Yobi
• As an MLE on this team, you will primarily be focused on the models, metrics, pipelines, systems, and services that power and deliver excellence via Yobi Applications products. • This role involves a large degree of 0-to-1 development, and will rely on collaboration with Product, core signals MLEs, and leaning on your own expertise and insight in building holistic ML-powered products. • Significant "wearing your Product hat" is expected, along with driving results in the many domains required to deliver whole ML-powered products - we are a quickly growing startup after all!
Job Requirements
- Understanding enough about machine learning to be dangerous but not necessarily published in the field. This means you have worked on and can speak to impactful consumer-facing ML problems, e.g. recommender systems, personalization, etc. that you have directly contributed to.
- Skill and attitude wise, you can quickly contribute to the "full stack" of our pipeline. This includes things such as data orchestration, build systems, and experiment tracking. Although we use a combination of open source products like Airflow, Bazel, Github CI/CD, and Spark, prior experience with these specific solutions is not needed. However, a good part of your day to day will involve interacting with these systems, so you should be comfortable with getting your hands dirty.
- Good product sense, has opinions on what we should and shouldn’t be doing both in chasing product-market fit and on the implementation side.
Benefits
- Competitive Base Salary
- Meaningful equity & financial upside - a real % of the company
- Annual bonus target based on personal and company performance
- Health, Dental, Vision - most plans will pay little to 0 out of pocket
- Unlimited PTO - we care about impact, not tracking days you’re out
- 401k with company match %

Machine Learning Engineer – Core Signals
YobiAward Winning AI Leaders | Synthetic AI Agents | Central Communications Platform For Sales, Marketing & CS Teams
• As an MLE on the Core Signals team, you will primarily be focused on (1) the representation learning surrounding our fundamental user-behavioral modeling problems and (2) using those core models to power new and existing products. • This role involves a lot of collaboration with the Product org and Applications team to realize these R&D gains - but is ultimately a "full stack" ML role. Day to day responsibilities include data processing, model training, deployment, and evaluation. • A good amount of "wearing your Product hat" is expected, as well as the ability to flex into some other functions as needed - we are a quickly growing startup after all.
• Design, develop, implement, and fine-tune AI and machine learning models to support web-based applications in secure environments with evolving use cases. • Build and maintain data pipelines, training workflows, and experimentation environments to enable rapid model iteration and evaluation. • Evaluate model performance using quantitative and qualitative metrics (e.g., accuracy, robustness, stability, efficiency, generalization) and translate results into actionable improvements. • Analyze data, model outputs, and experimental results to recommend changes to algorithms, features, data sources, or system architecture. • Proactively identify and assess tools, frameworks, and technologies that best support platform goals, balancing performance, scalability, and maintainability. • Collaborate closely with software developers, data engineers, DevSecOps teams, and stakeholders to integrate AI capabilities into production systems. • Ensure AI and data science solutions are transparent, testable, and maintainable to support long-term operational use. • Communicate technical approaches, assumptions, tradeoffs, and results clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including during design reviews and demonstrations.
• Lead and nurture a growing team of machine learning engineers, supporting their career development through coaching and mentorship. • Leading team OKR discussions, coordinating projects and facilitating team meetings, planning and retros. • Collaborate with the CTO, Platform and Product Managers to align team priorities with company OKRs. • Collaborate with the People team on recruiting and onboarding talent that matches our values and technical excellence. • Act as a sounding board for the team, empowering the team, and support identifying and resolving bottlenecks and efficiency blockers, enabling the team to iterate faster. • Drive the development and deployment of ML systems, optimising tools and infrastructure for efficiency, while ensuring timeline and goals are met. • Promoting a culture of collaboration and continuous learning, and mentoring team members in their development.
• Work with ML engineers and researchers to ensure delivered datasets are usable and correctly scoped • Build and run batch data generation and preprocessing jobs for image, video, and audio data • Execute preprocessing pipelines using shared batch orchestration tools • Design and run ETL jobs to ingest, transform, and organize data in our warehouse. • Validate input and output datasets (schema, metadata, basic quality checks) • Collect, organize, and deliver processed datasets using established conventions • Support creation of development and prototype datasets ahead of large-scale backfills • Maintain version control of data processing repositories following industry best practices • Debug data pipeline failures, ETL issues, and data quality problems
