About the role

AI is reshaping how brands connect with consumers — and at Appier, we’re at the forefront. Our Playable Ads team builds AI-powered ad experiences — from interactive playable formats to video ads — that drive higher engagement and conversion for apps and games worldwide. We’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to turn promising models and prototypes into reliable, scalable creative-generation systems used in real products.

This role sits at the intersection of applied ML and software engineering. You’ll work with scientists, backend and frontend engineers, product managers, and designers to build pipelines that generate, evaluate, and continuously improve ad creatives—while meeting production standards for quality, latency, cost, observability, and reliability.

What You’ll Work On

• Build and operate reliable, scalable ML and generative AI pipelines that power automated content creation, personalization, and optimization across a range of creative formats and products.
• Productionize research prototypes and models by designing service and API contracts, containerized workers, asynchronous orchestration, artifact storage, and clear ownership boundaries.
• Apply modern ML—including LLMs, VLMs, multimodal generation, and agentic tool use—to improve creative quality, automation, and personalization.
• Engineer reliable workflows with schema validation, idempotency, retries, failure recovery, security, versioning, and end-to-end tests across staging and production.
• Define and monitor quality, latency, failure-rate, and generation-cost metrics; use logs, traces, evaluations, and experiments to diagnose bottlenecks and improve outcomes.
• Collaborate with scientists, backend and frontend engineers, product, and design to translate business needs into maintainable ML systems, document handoffs, and ship iteratively.

What We’re Looking For

[Minimum qualifications]

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience.
