Job Description

As part of the global Operations & Technology organization, the Data & Analytics group (D&A) is focused on the data strategies for the future, covering the entire analytics life cycle – data engineering, data architecture, data platforms, data analysis, data viz, and data science. We support NBCU’s vast portfolio of brands – from broadcast, cable, news, and sports networks to film studios, world-renowned theme parks, and a diverse suite of digital properties. We take pride in providing NBCUniversal with data to advise and shape strategic business decisions. 

The Data & Analytics team is looking for a passionate Machine Learning Engineer adept at building the next generation of analytics solutions and ML pipelines. The candidate will be working closely with internal stakeholders, data engineers, visualization experts, and other technologists across one or more of our main subject areas. 

This role is right for you if you are a subject matter expert in designing end-to-end data science solutions and can maintain the fine balance of business acumen and deep technical knowledge. You are a passionate problem solver who is looking to build the next generation of products and applications for ML models. You are also a hands-on coder and architect who can create scalable (even self-healing) machine-learning pipelines in the cloud. 

Responsibilities: 

  • Drive end-to-end MLOps development to create scalable production ML pipelines (e.g., feature creation, training, and inference) for various lines-of-business, inclusive of Consumer, Film, Streaming, and Ad Sales. These automated products will aid in the timely decision-making process for marketing, strategy, and targeted advertising 
  • Establish best practices for engineering, monitoring, operationalizing, and improving automated ML models and APIs, with consideration for the levels of user expertise, cloud ecosystem capabilities, and transferrable standards 
  • Lead the prototype, architecture, and selection of ML and Data Science platforms, cognizant of the varied levels of user expertise, technical capabilities, and trends 
  • Partner closely with business, product owners, engineering, and data science teams to implement design patterns that optimize performance, cost, security, and scale, and that complement company-wide architectural standards 
  • Support advanced analytics efforts and deep-dive analysis to answer specific business questions, and develop augmented-analysis tools to enable efficient business decisions 
  • Mentor and guide engineering and data science peers in building a comprehensive set of tools, knowledge, and standards that can be democratized across the organization 

Qualifications

  • Strong understanding of applied statistics and machine learning algorithms, experience in methodologies for regression, classification, clustering, and causality 
  • 8+ years of data science experience, with demonstrated proficiency using SQL and Python in building analytical solutions 
  • 3+ years of experience building production-deployed, well-monitored MLOps solutions to solve business problems, with particular preference for the media industry 
  • Experience in AutoML, NLP, and Deep Learning frameworks that enrich MLOps efficacy 
  • Intimate familiarity with ML architectures (e.g., MLflow) and workflows on the cloud (i.e., AWS, GCP, Azure) 
  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, Spark, Airflow, or related cloud-based big-data storage and orchestration technologies 
  • Bachelor's/Master’s degree – or equivalence with experience – in Computer Science, Data/Decision Science, Data Engineering, Quantitative Economics, or Mathematics 

Desired Characteristics:

  • Direct experience working with media/entertainment and ad sales datasets and platforms is a plus – Nielsen, comScore, FreeWheel, mParticle, and Salesforce 
  • Ability to report and demonstrate model-development progress to stakeholders by visualizing results and communicating plans, benchmarks, and improvements 
  • Strong understanding of Agile principles and best practices, including CI/CD principles 
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and making decisions in a dynamic, fast-paced environment 
  • Excellent verbal and written skills with the ability to communicate data stories effectively across all levels of the organization, both technical and non-technical 

Additional Requirements:

  • Fully Remote: This position has been designated as fully remote, meaning that the position is expected to contribute from a non-NBCUniversal worksite, most commonly an employee’s residence.

This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks. Learn more about the benefits offered by NBCUniversal by visiting the Benefits page of the Careers website. Salary range: $130,000 - $170,000 (bonus eligible)

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
