•
Lead the design, development, and iteration of ranking, filtering, and personalization models across Gametime’s product surfaces
•
Own modeling approaches, feature strategy, evaluation metrics, and offline and online experimentation
•
Balance relevance, revenue, and user trust when evolving ranking solutions
LLM and Advanced Modeling Applications
•
Apply LLMs and hybrid ML techniques to use cases such as semantic understanding, intent detection, content generation, and internal workflows
•
Evaluate emerging tools and techniques, recommending pragmatic adoption where they provide clear benefit
•
Establish best practices for testing, deploying, and monitoring LLM-powered models in production
Team Leadership and Craft Excellence
•
Manage and mentor applied ML practitioners, supporting growth in technical depth and business impact

•
Demonstrated experience owning ranking, recommendation, or personalization systems
•
Strong foundation in applied ML techniques such as learning-to-rank, embeddings, gradient boosting, and neural networks
•
Hands-on experience working with LLMs, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, and evaluation
•
Solid software engineering skills and experience working within modern data and ML stacks
•
Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence without relying on hierarchy
What Success Looks Like
•
Applied ML solutions that measurably improve customer experience and business outcomes
•
High-quality, continuously improving ranking and curation systems
•
