The ML team at Ravenpack is made of highly-skilled engineers with a passion for Natural Language Processing and modern Deep Learning. We take care of the entire cycle of development, from data cleaning to model training and deployment and work closely with backend and QA engineers to establish a robust MLOps pipeline.

Responsibilities - What You'll Be Doing:

• Build and maintain systems that enable efficient and effective training, testing, and deployment of machine learning models for ranking, recommender system and retrieval.

• Optimizing recommender system centered on the hyperscale machine learning model, covering a variety of work from recall/ first stage ranking / final stage ranking in the end-to-end workflow.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that our search infrastructure meets the needs of our business and users.

• Build annotation pipelines to continuously improve the models performance.

• Providing updates to stakeholders, including executives and other members of the organization, about progress and outcomes.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor or advanced degree in computer science or a related technical discipline

• Proven related industry experience

• Proficient coding skills.

• Experience in one or more of the following areas: NLP, Ranking, Ads, search engine, recommender system

• Experience with IR frameworks like Vespa, Lucene, Solr, Elasticsearch, etc

• Experience with one or more of TensorFlow, PyTorch, Jax, or another deep learning toolkit

• Effective communication and teamwork skills.

Nice To Have:

• NLP

• Experience with vector databases and similarity search algorithms

Benefits:

• 1 Lab Day per sprint: On Lab Day, you can explore whatever is interesting to you! Whether you want to try something new or experiment with our data, this is the perfect day for it. Take advantage of this opportunity to get creative!

• We receive continuous support and training on the latest ML technologies (i.e. MLOPs, Search and ranking, recommendations, and many others)

• We have an hour each week devoted to our Takumi session, where our objective is to gain knowledge from our peers. Through this session, we can learn a variety of new topics, such as graph neural networks and how to utilize pre-trained models to create training samples.

What's in it for you

• You will work with the latest technologies.

• Our Headquarters is situated in Marbella, and we offer Hybrid work, and consider full remote for this role.

• A shuttle bus from Malaga, Fuengirola, La Riviera, and Estepona is available for free from the company.
