Machine Learning Engineer II, Marketing Testing
Introduction to team

The Traveler Business Team builds and drives growth for our global consumer businesses—Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. This division creates compelling and differentiated traveler value for each brand by setting the strategic vision, operating strategy, and plan. Responsibilities include investment allocation and prioritization, P&L accountability, and leading cross‑functional teams across Expedia Group, who are all held accountable to a single scorecard.


Within this division, our Marketing Measurement Analytics team is dedicated to driving data‑informed marketing decisions across Expedia Group’s portfolio of brands. We build sophisticated measurement capabilities and experimentation platforms that enable marketers to optimize their strategies and demonstrate clear business impact.


About The Role

We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to work on two key areas within our marketing analytics team. First, you’ll enhance our production experimentation platform that runs large‑scale tests, helping marketers design, launch, and evaluate experiments efficiently and reliably.


Second, you’ll help build new flexible measurement tools by creating open‑source style add‑ons and turning research prototypes into production‑ready solutions. This includes developing reusable code libraries for quick analysis and designing tools that work alongside our existing platform.


If you’re passionate about building scalable ML systems that drive business impact and enjoy turning innovative prototypes into robust production tools, this could be the perfect role for you!


You’ll play a key role in maintaining our current experimentation platform while helping to build the next generation of marketing measurement tools.


In This Role, You Will

  • Support software engineering teams to maintain platform performance, troubleshoot issues, and enhance logging systems to ensure reliable operation for 300+ annual experiments
  • Optimize core testing code including stratified sampling, simulation and regression frameworks
  • Build scalable data pipelines for experiment execution and analysis
  • Build flexible measurement tools, create reusable code libraries, and transform research prototypes into production‑ready solutions
  • Collaborate with data scientists and software engineers to translate requirements and coordinate deployment of tools into production

Required

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related technical field; or equivalent professional experience
  • Proficient in Python, SQL, and PySpark for large‑scale data processing
  • Experience building scalable systems, preferably with ML/AI components in production environments
  • Experience with automated testing and deployment practices, including version control, unit testing, and deployment pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions)
  • Understanding of system internals, including memory management, caching, and distributed computing
  • Experience turning prototypes into production code and building flexible, reusable code frameworks
  • Foundational knowledge in machine learning principles and statistical methods

Desirable

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP)
  • Familiarity with open‑source development practices and creating modular, adaptable tools
  • Knowledge of A/B testing methodologies, stratified sampling, and experimental design principles

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
