You will be at the cutting edge of the AI revolution, working with state-of-the-art technologies and shipping production systems at massive scale. The position is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in the office.

Own production-grade APIs and microservices that integrate AI capabilities into eBay products and marketplaces.

Implement scalable, cost-efficient, and reliable distributed systems (e.g., streaming, batch processing, autoscaling, service orchestration).

Collaborate with ML researchers and product engineers to translate models into robust, secure, and maintainable production services.

Optimize performance for high throughput and low latency; monitor, observe, and continuously improve system reliability (SLOs, alerting, on-call).

Contribute to architecture decisions, documentation, and engineering standards across CoreAI.

What you will bring:

Strong backend engineering experience building distributed systems and APIs in production.

Proficiency in Java, Python, and Kotlin programming languages

Experience with cloud infrastructure and container orchestration (e.g., AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes).

Experience deploying and operating ML services (batch and real-time), model serving frameworks, and feature stores is a plus.

Solid understanding of system design, networking, performance optimization, and observability (metrics, logs, traces).

Knowledge of ML fundamentals and MLOps practices (versioning, CI/CD for models, A/B testing, evaluation) is a plus; curiosity and willingness to learn are essential.
