**Role description**
**The opportunity**
Unity's Vector AI team builds the machine learning systems that decide which ads reach which players — across billions of monthly users on the world's leading game engine. Recommendation and ranking systems are the core of this work: predicting user value, optimizing bids, and delivering outcomes for advertisers at massive scale.
We are building the next generation of these systems. The frontier has shifted — large language models, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and agentic AI are reshaping what recommendation systems can do. We are looking for PhD graduates who have worked at that frontier and want to bring those ideas into production systems that matter.
