Machine Learning Engineering Manager GAI Search Relevance
As the leader of a team of talented search relevance engineers your objective will be to measure and improve the ranking and relevance of our AI-powered enterprise search applications. Since these applications also leverage large language models (LLMs) you will also be responsible for measuring and improving RAG-based objectives such as summarization groundedness of responses and citation correctness and completeness. You will guide the team to drive end-to-end development of machine-learning models including data synthesis feature engineering experiment design evaluation and more. Your team will play a pivotal role in improving our search relevance in a systematic and methodical manner as we scale to new customers new types of data and use-cases and will ultimately be accountable for the ranking quality of all our enterprise search products.
Your teams ownership of search quality is crucial to the companys search product lines with success measured by its enablement capabilities. You will enable your team members by facilitating rapid iteration on model enhancements allowing them to improve ML metrics with a clear understanding of performance tradeoffs and generalizability.
You will be responsible for guiding the teams technical direction managing project timelines and ensuring the robustness efficiency and innovation of our machine learning based search systems. Your team will collaborate closely with search infrastructure and platform engineers and partner with product design and customer success teams to jointly achieve business objectives.
