Lead Engineer, Discover at Circle (circle.so)

This role is for a senior machine learning engineer with at least five years of experience who has specifically built and scaled recommendation engines or discovery feeds for large consumer apps. You should have a deep background in ranking models and back-end data engineering to lead a small team. **What makes it worth a look...** The compensation is exceptionally high for a remote role, topping out at $300,000 plus substantial milestone-based stock accelerators. You will work directly with the founders and enjoy 35 days of PTO along with twice-yearly fully paid international retreats. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have hands-on experience productionizing ML models for Pinterest or Instagram-style feeds. * Are comfortable building large-scale systems using embeddings and ranking frameworks from scratch. * Want to lead a small, senior team while remaining deeply involved in the code and technical architecture. * Thrive in a highly asynchronous, remote environment that focuses on documented outcomes rather than tracking hours.
