Job description

At HackerRank, we are on a mission to change the world to value skills over pedigree. We are a high-performing, mission-driven team that truly, madly, deeply cares about what we do. We don’t see velocity and quality as tradeoffs - both matter. This sometimes means long days and work spilling into weekends, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We each find balance in our own way, making time for what matters outside of work while always giving our best. If you are someone who takes pride in high-impact work and thrives in a driven team, HackerRank is where you belong.

As a Senior ML Scientist at HackerRank, you will be working closely with Engineering & Product teams to design, implement, and deliver machine learning and AI solutions. You will be a key part of developing HackerRank's Machine Learning practice across our products, with a heavy emphasis on technical & thought leadership for machine learning and AI solutions.

You will be working on:

• Design and Develop Advanced ML Solutions: Conceive research ideas, build end-to-end models, and refine algorithms for complex business challenges.
• Technical Leadership and Mentorship: Guide teams on best practices, review and optimize machine learning assets such as datasets, models, and code, and foster continuous learning.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to align ML initiatives with broader organizational goals and ensure seamless deployment.
• Strategic Planning and Thought Leadership: Shape the ML roadmap, ensure model fairness and compliance, and represent the organization at industry events.

We are looking for:

• 7+ years of experience working on data science and machine learning applications, including 5+ years on model development
• A strong background in math & statistics for machine learning applications
• Prior experience in technical directing and mentoring junior team members to deliver large efforts
• Solid ability to understand business priorities and set a vision to realize them
• Being up to date on recent advances in machine learning, and identifying relevant papers and opportunities
• Ability to design and implement a modern machine learning framework and codebase for the company to operate in.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Deep Learning and a framework such as Pytorch or Tensorflow
• Expertise in natural language processing techniques
• Expertise in training and fine-tuning LLMs
