Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.
We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join the growing AI and Machine Learning team at Strava. This team is responsible for sophisticated machine learning models and systems which provide value to Strava athletes including personalization, recommendations, search, and trust and safety. The team also maintains the ML platform and infrastructure that enables our team to iterate on models quickly and deploy them reliably at scale.
This is an important role in the ML team and across Product teams designing, roadmapping, and implementing innovative machine learning algorithms. We value full stack ML engineers who are able to work on all parts of an ML pipeline from model building, evaluation, optimizing performance, and ensuring the scalability and reliability of these production models. We also seek those who can improve the systems and tools behind the ML pipeline to further empower the team.
We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half your time on-site in our San Francisco Office — three days per week.
