Machine Learning Engineer, Experimentation

Within Monetization (Ads), the Experimentation team is responsible for Measurement Statistics, Measurement Correctness, and Measurement Infrastructure, which underpins model-based experimentation. Every change to our models is deployed via an experiment and measured for improvements to quality (for our 3Bn+ monthly active users) and value (for millions of advertisers). We are at the heart of Meta's growth, driving significant step changes in a a domain operating at significant scale.

We are seeking an experienced and mathematically skilled Machine Learning Engineer to join our Experimentation team. This is a leadership hire focused on solving high-impact business challenges in experimentation. You will advance our approach on how we approach launch decisions, optimize launch models, and significantly reduce uncertainty in our experimentation. This role offers an opportunity to solve open and challenging problems and deliver a step change in ML Experimentation.
