You'll work at the intersection of large-scale machine learning, generative AI, and advertising systems-building the models and infrastructure that determine how creative is generated, ranked, optimized, and ultimately performs. This role is for someone who understands ads systems deeply and is equally strong in modern generative AI. You should be comfortable moving across ranking and recommendation, targeting and optimization, prompt engineering, post-training, and production ML systems. You'll help define what an AI-native advertising platform looks like from the ground up. What you'll do: * Build and improve ML systems powering advertising products, including ranking, recommendation, targeting, prediction, and optimization. * Develop models that improve ad creative quality, relevance, personalization, and performance at scale. * Build systems that connect generative models with real-world advertising performance signals, creating feedback loops that continuously improve model outputs. * Apply prompt engineering and post-training techniques to improve generative models for advertising and creative use cases. * Work on fine-tuning, preference optimization, evaluation, and other techniques for adapting foundation models to specific creative and advertising objectives. * Design and run experiments across creative generation, ranking, targeting, and delivery to understand what drives advertiser performance. * Build production ML systems that operate reliably at significant scale, from experimentation through inference and serving. * Work closely with Product, Research, Engineering, and GTM teams to turn advances in generative AI into products advertisers can use. ## Related Videos - [AI Model Management Life Circles: ML Ops For Generative AI Models From Research to Deployment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1152-ai-model-management-life-circles-ml-ops-for-generative-ai-models-from-research-to-deployment) - [Your imaginations is (no longer) the limit: how Generative AI empowers people to be creative](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/741-your-imaginations-is-no-longer-the-limit-how-generative-ai-empowers-people-to-be-creative) - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [How We Built a Machine Learning-Based Recommendation System (And Survived to Tell the Tale)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/752-how-we-built-a-machine-learning-based-recommendation-system-and-survived-to-tell-the-tale) - [The shadows that follow the AI generative models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/624-the-shadows-that-follow-the-ai-generative-models) ## Related Articles - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [How machine learning can help us tell fact from fiction](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/509-how-machine-learning-can-help-us-tell-fact-from-fiction) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Prompt Engineering is a Job of the Past](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/342-prompt-engineering-is-a-job-of-the-past)
