Observability
- AI-driven Search & Personalization at scale — hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense embeddings), ANN/HNSW candidate generation, learning-to-rank, vector search, LLM/RAG for query understanding
- High-load distributed systems — multi-region services on Kubernetes (AWS/GCP), graceful degradation, tiered caching, idempotency, stable p95/p99 under prime-time peaks
- Personalization delivery platforms — multi-strategy serving (trending, geo/category, similarity, continuation), A/B testing infrastructure, online signals & embeddings pipelines
- Engineering leadership — leading engineering teams, career growth and internal promotions, cross-functional alignment with Product, Data Science, and ML Platform
- Reliability & observability — multi-cloud strategy, cost optimization, SRE foundation with 99.9% availability SLO
