The opportunity
The Digital Twin Platform team at Instacart is on a mission to understand exactly what is on store shelves at all times — bringing the precision and depth of a smart warehouse to every local grocery store across North America. Inventory estimates power some of the most critical…
What you'll do
Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models that power real-time: understanding of in-store inventory levels and shelf stocking dynamics across thousands of retail locations at scale.
Own the full ML lifecycle: from problem framing and data exploration through model training, evaluation, and production deployment — with a focus on quality, reliability, and measurable business impact.
Collaborate cross-functionally with software engineers, computer vision: engineers, data scientists, and product leads to bring cutting-edge technologies to the team and drive new product innovation.
Contribute to building and evolving the core infrastructure of the Digital: Twin Platform, including systems that ingest data from retail partners and actively collect novel inventory observations to feed the modeling pipeline.
Help define the technical direction of an expanding modeling practice on a: high-performance team that operates with startup speed — expect ambiguity, changing priorities, and the opportunity to make a significant mark on a problem space that is core to Instacart's business.
+ years of experience developing and deploying machine learning models in production environments.
What they're looking for
- Strong proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
- Demonstrated experience with large-scale data pipelines and working with: structured and unstructured data at scale.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and familiarity: with ML platform tooling for model training, versioning, and serving.
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Machine Learning,: Statistics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
