<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>The Role</b></h3><p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>

Productionize regression models to predict downstream conversion from early conversational signals.</p></li><li><p>

Own the evaluation framework for ad quality, relevance, and user experience across the marketplace.</p></li><li><p>
Read an ArXiv paper on Monday. Have a prototype running on Friday.</p></li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What You Will Do</b></h3><ul><li><p>
Own the research and shipping of the models powering ad selection across Thrad's network.</p></li><li><p>
Move research to production end to end: hypothesis, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring.</p></li><li><p>
Collaborate directly with the CTO and co-founders to translate research direction into working systems, often within the same day.</p></li><li><p>
Partner with the Data and Product teams to design and analyze live experiments on real traffic.</p></li><li><p>
Contribute to system architecture decisions as we scale from millions to billions of daily ad impressions.</p></li><li><p>
Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences across the team.</p></li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Who You Are</b></h3><p><b>
Must-haves</b></p><ul><li><p>

An advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field &mdash; or equivalent experience shipping production ML.</p></li><li><p>
Strong fundamentals in mathematical and statistical modeling. You know why your model works, not just that it does.</p></li><li><p>
Fluent in PyTorch, modern transformer architectures, and embedding-based retrieval.</p></li><li><p>
Strong Python, comfort with distributed training and inference.</p></li><li><p>
You have shipped ML to production at scale. Not just notebooks.</p></li><li><p>
You enjoy identifying and owning hard, open-ended problems. You form testable hypotheses and run them to ground.</p></li><li><p>
Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate. This is an in-person role at our SF HQ.</p></li></ul><p><b>
Nice-to-haves</b></p><ul><li><p>
