Overview

The Developer AI team is working on products and experiences that apply AI to redefine software development, removing toil and grunt work for developers and radically improving developer productivity. This work is on the leading edge of technical capability and will have huge industry impact.

Responsibilities

As a Principal Machine Learning engineer, you will drive the development and implementation of cutting edge machine learning algorithms, training sophisticated models, collaborating with product, engineering, and analytics teams, to build transformative developer AI products and services. Your daily responsibilities will encompass a broad spectrum of tasks such as designing system and model architectures, conducting rigorous experimentation and model evaluations, and providing guidance to emerging ML engineers. Your role is pivotal, stretching beyond these tasks, ensuring AI's transformative potential is realized across our offerings.

Qualifications

On the first day, we'll expect you to have

• Bachelor's or Master's degree (preferably a Computer Science degree or equivalent experience)
