</strong>This team is evolving the world's leading marketplace for travel experiences.
We believe that making memories is what travel is all about.
And with 400,000+ travel experiences to explore—everything from simple tours to extreme adventures (and everything in between) —making memories that will last a lifetime has never been easier.
</p> <p><strong>About the Role</strong></p> <p>You’ll serve as a key technical lead and pod architect within our core discovery engine.
You will independently own and execute the machine learning strategy for major product capabilities—such as Search, Retrieval, Ranking, or Content AI—that power how millions of users discover and plan their travel itineraries.
</p> <p>This Senior Machine Learning Scientist role bridges the gap between state-of-the-art (SOTA) research and robust, production-grade engineering.
You will navigate technical ambiguity, implement custom algorithmic components, and explicitly map offline model metrics directly to business KPIs like booking conversion and user engagement.
If you are a relentlessly curious scientist who excels at rapid prototyping, practical SOTA deployment, and multiplying the capabilities of your peers, this role is for you.
