In this role, you will:

• Build scalable end-to-end machine learning solutions for challenging customer problems.
• Explore novel techniques to tackle previously unsolved problems.
• Promote excellence and best practices across the Machine Learning team with regards to research, implementation, tooling, and system design.

• Understands traditional machine learning algorithms, state-of-the-art techniques—including deep learning—and how to use them effectively in practice.
• Is familiar with some combination of modern NLP techniques, recommendation, relevance, or personalization and their applications in industry.
• Is comfortable reading academic papers and can take interesting ideas and apply them.
• Understands data structures and algorithms at a level sufficient to write performant code when working with large datasets or large incoming data streams.

Our remote-first hybrid model enables a highly collaborative culture supported by our EAGER (ethical, adaptable, gritty, empathetic, and remarkable) values. We work to foster belonging among team members in a variety of ways. This includes our employee resource groups, Grammarly Circles, which promote connection among those with shared identities, such as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ team members, women, and parents. We also celebrate our colleagues and accomplishments with global, local, and team-specific programs.
