Our private-by-design modeling enables state-of-the-art personalization and decisioning for leading brands and agencies while protecting privacy, safety, and ethics. Today, we are focused on bringing the performance of closed-web user acquisition to the open web and connected TV , giving brands walled-garden results without the walls. At our core, Yobi is building the behavioral intelligence layer for any system that makes a personalization decision . Working at Yobi We’re at an inflection point—customer adoption is accelerating, but there’s still room to shape the architecture and culture from the ground up. Engineers here own major surface areas , build 0→1 systems in large-scale data and model infrastructure, and help define how Behavioral AI scales ethically and effectively.

These Applications products are key to Yobi success, as they ground the value of our R&D, power continuous experimentation and improvement, and provide significant data for improving our core embeddings. As an MLE on this team, you will primarily be focused on the models, metrics, pipelines, systems, and services that power and deliver excellence via Yobi Applications products. This role involves a large degree of 0-to-1 development, and will rely on collaboration with Product, core signals MLEs, and leaning on your own expertise and insight in building holistic ML-powered products.

Significant "wearing your Product hat" is expected, along with driving results in the many domains required to deliver whole ML-powered products - we are a quickly growing startup after all! What it takes to succeed in this role: Understanding enough about machine learning to be dangerous but not necessarily published in the field. This means you have worked on and can speak to impactful consumer-facing ML problems, e.g. recommender systems, personalization, etc. that you have directly contributed to. Skill and attitude wise, you can quickly contribute to the “full stack” of our pipeline. This includes things such as data orchestration, build systems, and experiment tracking. Although we use a combination of open source products like Airflow, Bazel, Github CI/CD, and Spark, prior experience with these specific solutions is not needed. However, a good part of your day to day will involve interacting with these systems, so you should be comfortable with getting your hands dirty. Good product sense, has opinions on what we should and shouldn’t be doing both in chasing product-market fit and on the implementation side.
