Our New Verticals team exists to grow monthly active usage outside of restaurant ordering - groceries, retail, and everything in between. That means turning someone who only orders restaurant food into someone who also uses the app for a grocery run, and turning dormant users into active ones. You'll work on the surfaces that make that happen: the homepage, vertical landing pages, and the notifications that bring people back. This role sits closer to the personalisation and ranking side of that mission, working alongside colleagues across DoorDash, Deliveroo and Wolt. What You'll Be Doing Build and improve ranking models for vertical landing pages (grocery, retail), deciding what a user sees first when they land on a store page Design models that blend new-vertical content into a homepage built around restaurant ordering, without disrupting the core experience Build personalisation models that translate a user's existing behaviour into relevant recommendations for verticals they haven't tried yet Contribute to notification targeting - who gets notified, with what message, and when, to drive adoption of new verticals ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [100 million days in Vienna: A story of APIs & AI in tourism.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/93-100-million-days-in-vienna-a-story-of-apis-ai-in-tourism) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [Machine learning 101: Where to begin?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1014-machine-learning-101-where-to-begin) - [What non-automotive Machine Learning projects can learn from automotive Machine Learning projects](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/397-what-non-automotive-machine-learning-projects-can-learn-from-automotive-machine-learning-projects) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [MLops – Deploying, Maintaining And Evolving Machine Learning Models in Production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/115-mlops-deploying-maintaining-and-evolving-machine-learning-models-in-production) - [The Prompt Engineer ✍️](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/216-the-prompt-engineer) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe)
