Join the team as our next Senior Machine Learning Engineering Manager, Predictions Platform

Who we are & why we’re hiring

Twilio powers real-time business communications and data solutions that help companies and developers worldwide build better applications and customer experiences.

Although we're headquartered in San Francisco, we're on a journey to becoming a globally antiracist company that supports diversity, equity & inclusion wherever we do business. We employ thousands of Twilions worldwide, and we're looking for more builders, creators, and visionaries to help fuel our growth momentum.

About the job

This position is responsible for leading and growing a team of talented machine learning engineers in Twilio Engage’s Predictions team. We are looking for an outstanding Senior Engineering Manager to join, build, and lead the newly-formed Machine Learning Platform team, which is at the core of Twilio Engage’s ML strategy.

In this role you will lead a team of ML engineers to partner with Product, Analytics, and Engineering teams to build products that enable marketers to make smart decisions about their campaigns and deliver personalized customer experiences. This role is highly strategic and is uniquely positioned to drive multiplier impacts for Twilio Engage as we continue to innovate and expand our core products. At the same time, you will get to lead an amazing team of talented ML engineers to shape the future of our business. 

Twilio Engage is the brand new growth automation platform, built natively on Segment as the customer data platform (CDP) and natively on Twilio’s communications APIs. Our vision is a unified platform that intelligently delivers the most relevant content to marketers through the best channel at every point in their lifecycle. Imagine a platform that can take the hundreds of thousands of messages entering Segment’s pipelines every second, add in a new identity graph, and overlay multiple high speed, realtime and batch databases — and you have the Personas platform.  We’ve since built several successful products on top of the Personas platform: Segment Audiences for real time audience management, Segment Traits for computation, and Profile API for real time personalization. 

We are now adding intelligence to the customer engagement by leveraging the data across multiple channels and harnessing the power of machine-learning.  We are personalizing customer engagement by transforming raw customer data across all channels into actionable, individualized, machine-learning based customer predictions that marketers can leverage in any workflow or process.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

  • Lead our ML team to build, evaluate, deploy and iterate on large scale Machine Learning systems.
  • Build production grade propensity models to drive personalization strategies for Twilio Engage, utilizing advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, or data mining techniques as appropriate
  • Set the technical vision for your team and be accountable for team plans and deliverables
  • Grow and develop an incredible team of hardworking and motivated ML engineers with high expectations around individual ownership and impact
  • Ensure your team delivers extraordinary output, and continuously seeks ways to make an outsized impact
  • Work with large scale Data Systems and ML infrastructure

Desired:
