The role, at a glance.
SeatGeek is seeking a senior machine learning engineer to productionize scalable ML systems for ticket discovery, pricing, personalization, demand forecasting, and fraud prevention. The role combines software engineering, MLOps, and applied machine learning, with responsibility for model-serving infrastructure, feature stores, real-time inference, and automated deployment pipelines. The engineer will work embedded with product teams and partner closely with data scientists, product managers, and software engineers. Candidates need strong Python experience, production ML expertise, cloud and containerization knowledge, and a product-focused approach to reliable systems. The position supports fully remote work for candidates in the United States.

Sample interview questions
I would explain the model’s business objective, data flow, serving architecture, deployment process, reliability controls, and measurable outcomes. I would include both ML metrics, such as precision or calibration, and product metrics, such as conversion, revenue, latency, or fraud-loss reduction.
I would separate offline training and feature generation from low-latency online inference, define feature freshness requirements, and use versioned models with controlled rollout mechanisms. I would also implement observability for latency, errors, data drift, prediction quality, and business outcomes, with safe fallback behavior if dependencies fail.
I use versioned code, data, features, model artifacts, and configuration; automated validation gates; reproducible training environments; and CI/CD for deployment. I also establish lineage, monitoring, alerting, rollback procedures, and clear ownership for pipeline failures.
I assess offline performance, robustness across relevant segments, serving cost and latency, data availability, operational risk, and expected business value. I then use a staged rollout, such as shadow testing or an A/B test, with predefined success criteria and rollback thresholds.
I align early on the product objective, success metrics, data contracts, inference requirements, and operational constraints. I help translate research assumptions into maintainable interfaces and deployment plans, while ensuring stakeholders understand model limitations, monitoring needs, and the trade-offs between accuracy, latency, cost, and user experience.
About this role.
SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.
SeatGeek is a technology innovator on a mission to disrupt the $300 billion ticketing industry. We have the product, vision, and team to make life better for performers, venues, and fans, and build a generational consumer brand in the process. All we’re missing is you.
