Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Instacart as an employer.

What you need

  • 5+ years of experience developing and deploying machine learning models in production environments
  • 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

Nice to have

  • Experience working on computer vision, inventory forecasting, demand sensing, or related spatial/temporal modeling problems
  • Familiarity with real-time inference systems and the architectural considerations of serving ML models in low-latency, high-throughput environments
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment where you have independently driven projects from conception through production with limited oversight
  • Exposure to retail, supply chain, or e-commerce domains and an understanding of how inventory data flows and is consumed in those contexts
  • Experience collaborating closely with computer vision teams or incorporating vision-based signals into broader ML systems

What you get

  • Highly market-competitive compensation and benefits
  • Eligible for a new hire equity grant as well as annual refresh grants

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of team size or structure
  • Role involves ambiguity and changing priorities, which may not suit everyone
  • Base pay range provided only for Canadian candidates, which may limit understanding of overall compensation for others
