О команде:

Команда распознавания окружения решает задачи обучения нейронных сетей для распознавания в самых разных сценариях. Мы твёрдо знаем: создать эффективный нейросетевой алгоритм без качественных данных невозможно. Именно поэтому мы строим собственную инфраструктуру для подготовки, обработки и интеграции данных во фреймворки обучения моделей распознавания.

Job Responsibilities

• Search & Retrieval

  • Develop and improve retrieval pipelines for large-scale production search systems.

  • Work on candidate generation, query processing, matching, filtering, and retrieval strategies.

  • Improve search relevance, result coverage, and overall SERP quality.

  • Analyse failed searches, irrelevant results, zero-result queries, and other search-quality issues.

  • Explore lexical, semantic, behavioural, hybrid, and vector search approaches.

• Ranking & Relevance

  • Build, train, and optimise ranking models for search and recommendation systems.

  • Develop learning-to-rank solutions using behavioural, content-based, contextual, and real-time features.

  • Design ranking features based on clicks, conversions, popularity, freshness, availability, and user behaviour.

  • Evaluate ranking quality using Precision, Recall, NDCG, MAP, MRR, and related relevance metrics.

  • Optimise models for low-latency inference and investigate relevance degradation, bias, and feedback loops.

• Recommendation Systems

  • Develop recommendation models and candidate-generation strategies for personalised and non-personalised scenarios.

  • Build recall and ranking stages for multi-stage recommendation pipelines.

  • Work on related-item, complementary-item, next-action, and behavioural recommendation use cases.

  • Develop user, item, session, and contextual representations.

  • Balance relevance, diversity, novelty, coverage, and business constraints.

• Experimentation & Evaluation

  • Design and run offline and online experiments for search, ranking, and recommendation improvements.

  • Build evaluation frameworks that connect model quality with product and business outcomes.

  • Design and analyse A/B tests using CTR, conversion, engagement, retention, and revenue-related metrics.

  • Create reproducible pipelines for data preparation, model training, evaluation, and comparison.

  • Evaluate model robustness across traffic segments, query groups, user cohorts, and edge cases.

• ML Pipelines & Collaboration

  • Build end-to-end ML pipelines for feature generation, training, validation, deployment, and monitoring.

  • Work with high-load, real-time, and low-latency production systems.

  • Process large datasets using Python, SQL, batch pipelines, streaming systems, and Kafka.

  • Collaborate with product, backend, data engineering, and MLOps teams to productionise ML solutions.
