Behind these products are passionate, collaborative, and high-performing global teams.

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. Stack: Python, Go, C++, PyTorch, Kubernetes/EKS, NVIDIA Triton, Ray, AWS 🚀 Excited to see our MLP team's amazing work in action? Check out some of the incredible projects they've completed below! 👇✨
