THRAD

<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">The Role</h3>
We are looking for an Applied Scientist to own the models that decide which ad appears in which AI conversation, in real time, across millions of queries a day. Ad selection inside LLM chats is a genuinely new problem: no click history, no cookies, no page context. Just an evolving conversation and a few hundred milliseconds to make a decision that has to feel native to the user, relevant to the advertiser, and profitable for the publisher.
This is a research role with a production mandate. Your models go live, not into a paper. You will work directly with our CTO and the founding engineering team on the systems powering millions of ads a day across Fortune 500 campaigns.<h3 class="jobSectionHeader">

Example Projects</h3><ul><li>
Design and train contextual ad relevance models for LLM conversations, from retrieval through ranking through creative selection.</li><li>
Build efficient algorithms for real-time bidding and auction mechanics, balancing publisher yield and advertiser ROAS.</li><li>
Productionize regression models to predict downstream conversion from early conversational signals.</li><li>
Apply privacy-preserving clustering methods to categorize conversational context and improve advertiser targeting without compromising user data.</li><li>
Run live experiments against real traffic on our publisher network. Iterate on CTR, ROAS, and conversation quality metrics.</li><li>
Own the evaluation framework for ad quality, relevance, and user experience across the marketplace.</li><li>
Read an ArXiv paper on Monday. Have a prototype running on Friday.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You Will Do</h3><ul><li>
Own the research and shipping of the models powering ad selection across Thrad's network.</li><li>
Move research to production end to end: hypothesis, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring.</li><li>
Collaborate directly with the CTO and co-founders to translate research direction into working systems, often within the same day.</li><li>
Partner with the Data and Product teams to design and analyze live experiments on real traffic.</li><li>
Contribute to system architecture decisions as we scale from millions to billions of daily ad impressions.</li><li>
Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences across the team.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Who You Are</h3>
Must-haves<ul><li>
2 to 5 years of applied ML experience, ideally in ads, search, recommendations, ranking, or NLP.</li><li>
An advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field &mdash; or equivalent experience shipping production ML.</li><li>
Strong fundamentals in mathematical and statistical modeling. You know why your model works, not just that it does.</li><li>
Fluent in PyTorch, modern transformer architectures, and embedding-based retrieval.</li><li>
Strong Python, comfort with distributed training and inference.</li><li>
You have shipped ML to production at scale. Not just notebooks.</li><li>
You enjoy identifying and owning hard, open-ended problems. You form testable hypotheses and run them to ground.</li><li>
Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate. This is an in-person role at our SF HQ.</li></ul>
Nice-to-haves<ul><li>
Experience with RLHF, preference modeling, or LLM fine-tuning.</li><li>
Background in auction theory, bidding systems, real-time pricing, or yield optimization.</li><li>
Prior work at an ad-tech, search, recommendations, or marketplace company.</li><li>
Published research at NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, KDD, RecSys, or equivalent.</li><li>
Familiarity with ClickHouse or other column-oriented OLAP databases for analytical workloads.</li><li>
A relentless interest in the AI and LLM ecosystem and how advertising will evolve inside conversational interfaces.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Why Thrad</h3><ul><li>
First mover: We are defining a new category. Paid ads in AI is an inevitable market and we are building the infrastructure for it.</li><li>
Real traction: Fortune 500 clients, millions of daily impressions, and publisher partners across the AI web, all pre-seed.</li><li>
Research with teeth: Your work ships. Your models run in production against real traffic with real revenue on the line.</li><li>
