Course Hero is scaling!
We are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer who can hit the ground running and work on a lot of fun and challenging projects that range from semantic query understanding, click modeling, inferring user intent, and personalizing search results to our users.
You will be a part of the Discovery Intelligence team in the Machine Learning Products team at Course Hero and collaborate cross-functionally to ship products that personalize learning experiences for students and help educators create unique course content. As a senior engineer, you’ll be expected to take the lead on multiple projects and be involved in every step of the process.
