About the job


Machine Learning Engineer – San Francisco, CA


We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join a high-growth startup using AI to apply algorithmic trading precision to a $600B+ digital advertising market, building real-time systems that autonomously optimize ad spend.


What you'll work on:


  • Develop and refine customer value prediction models (LTV)
  • Support the design of budget allocation and bidding optimization systems
  • Integrate with Meta, Google, and TikTok APIs to automate spend in real time
  • Contribute across the full ML lifecycle - experimentation, validation, deployment, and monitoring
  • Help build simulation and backtesting frameworks to evaluate strategies before rollout
  • Monitor performance and detect model drift in fast-changing market conditions


What they're looking for: 


  • 2+ years experience building and deploying ML models in production
  • Strong grounding in core ML techniques (regression, classification, tree-based models, etc.)
  • Familiarity with optimization and experimentation frameworks
  • Ability to translate business problems into scalable ML solutions
  • Experience writing robust, production-ready code (handling scale, edge cases, failures)
  • Exposure to APIs and data pipelines in real-world environments


What's in it for me: 


  • $150K–$200K base + meaningful equity
  • Work on systems directly managing significant ad spend
  • Daily meals, full benefits, unlimited PTO
  • Fast-growing, well-funded company at the intersection of AI and markets


Apply now for immediate consideration!
