Description
Grammarly team members in this role must be based in the United States or Canada.
The opportunity
Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect whenever and wherever they communicate. Every day, over 30 million people and 50,000 teams around the world rely on our AI-powered communication assistance technology. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment.
Until now, our product has provided a largely uniform, identical experience to all its users. As we strive to define and advance the communication-assistant market, it’s become essential for our product to deliver a context-aware and personalized experience to every user. This requires understanding users’ intent, style, and communication preferences. Similarly, the Text Editor software development kit, Grammarly’s first developer offering, will provide contextually personalized experiences tailored to the app's communication use case and further empower our partners.
We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in recommendation, relevance, or personalization to build these capabilities. This person will apply ML to solve new and challenging problems, as well as build the infrastructure and systems to operate solutions effectively at scale. This will involve working on a highly cross-functional team, in close partnership with Analytical Linguists, Computational Linguists, Data Scientists, and more.
Grammarly’s engineers, researchers, and ML practitioners have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. They will have the chance to broaden and deepen their skills in machine learning and deep learning. Read more about our stack or hear from our team on our technical blog.
