## About this role.

AI SummaryReddit is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead its Ads Conversion Modeling team, which builds production machine-learning models that predict lower-funnel actions such as purchases, signups, and add-to-cart events. The manager will set the technical vision and roadmap, oversee the end-to-end model lifecycle, and lead and develop a high-impact ML engineering team. Core technical requirements include deep learning, large-scale ranking or recommendation systems, conversion modeling, data pipelines, and TensorFlow or PyTorch. The role requires close collaboration with product management, data science, and Ads engineering partners, and is remote for candidates located anywhere in the United States.

Sample interview questionsHow would you define a technical roadmap for an ads conversion-modeling team?I would begin with business objectives and current funnel metrics, then identify the highest-impact modeling, data-quality, serving, and experimentation gaps. I would sequence investments into near-term measurable improvements and longer-term platform capabilities, with clear model KPIs, ownership, dependencies, and risk management.

Describe how you would evaluate a new conversion prediction model before and after deployment.

Offline, I would evaluate calibrated predictive performance, ranking quality, segment stability, and robustness to delayed or sparse labels. Online, I would use controlled experiments to measure incremental conversion and advertiser outcomes while monitoring latency, spend distribution, calibration, fairness, and system reliability.

What are key challenges in training large-scale lower-funnel conversion models?

Common challenges include severe label sparsity, delayed attribution, selection bias, nonstationary user and advertiser behavior, and leakage across time windows. I would address these through disciplined data definitions, temporal validation, calibrated objectives, bias-aware sampling or weighting, strong monitoring, and frequent retraining where justified.

How do you balance people leadership with maintaining technical depth as an engineering manager?

I establish clear ownership and empower senior engineers to lead designs, while staying engaged in architecture reviews, model evaluation standards, and critical execution decisions. I reserve regular time for coaching, roadmap work, and technical learning so that I can remove obstacles without becoming a bottleneck.

How would you handle disagreement between product stakeholders and ML engineers about a model investment?

I would make the decision framework explicit by clarifying the user or advertiser outcome, expected impact, required evidence, engineering cost, and opportunity cost. Where uncertainty remains, I would propose a scoped experiment or milestone-based prototype that produces data quickly and enables a transparent decision.
