## About the Role

* 5-10 years of professional experience in applied Machine Learning, with a proven track record of architecting and deploying high-impact models into production at global scale.
 * Exceptional programming proficiency in Python (required), with additional experience in Scala, Java, or similar languages for building robust backend systems.
 * Deep mastery of ML fundamentals and best practices-including feature engineering, model selection, A/B testing, and training/serving skew mitigation-alongside advanced algorithms like gradient boosted trees, neural networks, and transformers.
 * Hands-on expertise with modern ML frameworks and tooling, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, to drive innovation in model development.
 * Experience leading data engineering efforts to build end-to-end ML pipelines, encompassing both high-throughput batch processes and low-latency real-time systems.
 * Strong command of architectural patterns for high-scale software applications, including the design of extensible APIs, efficient algorithms, and resilient data infrastructure.
 * A disciplined approach to software craft, including test-driven development, incremental delivery, and modern CI/CD deployment practices.
 * A Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a closely related technical field.

## Description

* Design and deploy ML models that extract and structure competitive intelligence signals - supply availability, pricing patterns, and market saturation - from large-scale crawled datasets across global competitors
 * Build and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines spanning feature engineering, offline training, and low-latency online serving, ensuring high data fidelity and resilience to upstream schema drift
 * Apply entity resolution and matching techniques to accurately map competitor listings and markets to Airbnb's internal supply taxonomy, using methods such as embedding models, gradient boosted trees, and transformer-based architectures
 * Partner with the crawling infrastructure engineer, data engineers, and product teams to translate competitive intelligence needs into well-defined ML problem formulations and measurable success criteria
 * Run rigorous offline and online experiments to evaluate model quality, and collaborate with Pricing, Supply Growth, and Strategy stakeholders to turn model outputs into actionable business decisions
 * Stay current with the latest advances in ML and AI, identifying opportunities to incorporate new techniques into the competitive intelligence platform
