How is Machine Learning Engineer role at Zillow. A recruiter reached out to me over phone regarding this role . Interested to know more about the work culture, compensation and work in general.
Which team?
Really varies a lot by team. But most have applied scientists, MLEs, and SWEs. You’ll do primarily SWE work with a touch of applied science. Essentially, your job is to be a SWE but with the added expectation that you understand ML and that you sometimes need to apply it. For that reason, MLE pays a little better than SWE. Culture and work life balance changes massively from team to team. Really depends on the culture your director sets. Pay is also varies a lot. My advice is to make sure you have competing offers, that seems to be the best way to get a decent offer here. And Zillow does match most public companies, if you do well in your interview loop.
Thanks for the info . What can I expect in phone interview and on-site interview . Will it be similar to SWE interviews.
No, expect a lot more ML questions. You should have your stats and basic ML algo knowledge down.
Which team?
I don’t know about that . I am in the initial phase
