Software Engineer New Grad, Machine Learning Platform - Quora (Remote)

Sobre el puesto

[Quora is a privately held, "remote-first" company. This position can be performed remotely from anywhere in Canada or the United States. Please visit careers.quora.com/eligible-countries for details regarding employment eligibility by country.] About Quora: Quora’s mission is to grow the world's collective intelligence. To do so, we have two platforms: • Quora: a global knowledge sharing platform with millions of monthly unique visitors, bringing people together to share insights on various topics and providing a unique platform to learn and connect with others. • Poe: a cloud workspace where millions of users run multiple AI agents on shared context and tools. One subscription, every frontier model, and the collaboration layer that makes them work together. Behind these products are passionate, collaborative, and high-performing global teams. We have a culture rooted in transparency, idea-sharing, and experimentation that allows us to celebrate success and grow together through meaningful work. Join us on this journey to create a positive impact and make a significant change in the world. This role will be working on our Quora product. About the Team and Role: Machine Learning is central to Quora's mission of growing the world's collective intelligence. We have 100+ Machine Learning models in production powering various product features. We use a variety of algorithms — everything from linear models to decision trees and deep neural networks. Our production models operate at a huge scale, serving hundreds of millions of people using Quora every month. Our team owns Quora's ML platform and ranking infrastructure across four areas: serving reliability, ML engineer enablement and developer velocity, business impact, and cost efficiency. We want to empower all ML engineers at Quora to be as impactful as they can be in solving different ML problems at scale. As a Software Engineer (New Grad) on this team, you'll work at the intersection of machine learning, distributed systems, and GPU serving performance — and your work will have an enormous impact on Quora's long-term success. No previous ML infrastructure experience is required for this role. You'll be joining a team of senior and staff engineers, learning this stack from the people who built it, with a dedicated mentor and strong technical guidance — and you'll be shipping to production in your first few weeks.
