About the Role
As a Machine Learning engineer at Zomato, you will be working on a number of interesting problems across a wide range of use cases, like restaurant recommendations, identifying and controlling spam/biased reviews, mining useful insights from reviews, classifying user photos, and even restaurant search ranking – things aimed at improving the customer experience and the product overall. As a key member of our engineering team, you will contribute to all aspects of the software life cycle: design, implementation, testing, experimentation, and fixing any bugs you create. We’re looking for someone who is willing to dive deep, experiment and iterate rapidly, and get things done.
Responsibilities
- Maintain and optimise the large-scale Machine Learning infrastructure that powers our Search ranking models.
- Use Natural Language Processing to understand text content like reviews and comments on Zomato, to extract useful content such as dish tags, review summaries/highlights, sentiment analysis from reviews, and also improve our bias-detection algorithms.
- Build and constantly improve our restaurant and dish recommendation engines, to show users relevant, useful content based on their history, preferences, time of day etc.
- Work with other engineers to implement algorithms, abstractions and systems in an efficient way, with strong positive impact on our user-facing products.
- Identify new opportunities to apply Machine Learning to different parts of the Zomato product.
- Take end-to-end ownership of Machine Learning systems - from data pipelines and training to real-time prediction engines.
Requirements
- 3 to 6 years of experience in ML backend development.
- Strong command of Python/Go as backend language.
- Solid engineering principles, problem solving and a clear understanding of data structures and algorithms.
- Prior experience with large-scale systems, consumer tech experience is a plus.
- Experience or knowledge in generative ai, llm and fine tuning and stable diffusion.
- Ability to join in less than 30 days.
