Engineering and data Postings ask for a degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience. Most Engineer II roles ask for 2+ years. Senior data science asks for 5+ years, and staff engineering for 7+ years. Machine learning roles ask for work on recommender systems (which pick what each person sees), ranking, or search, and for Hadoop or Spark, tools that process very large data sets. Staff engineers name Java, Python, Go, or Scala. Twelve Postings value AI coding tools such as Cursor or Copilot. The interview tests your core skills and how you work with AI. Sales roles ask for digital advertising sales and knowledge of search, shopping, display, and social ads. Designers need 2+ years, a portfolio, and Figma, a design tool.
