Summary
Aaron Maurer is a software engineer and machine learning leader with 11 years of experience building ML/AI systems that drive product outcomes and delightful user experiences. He has led and scaled ML and search infrastructure at Slack—covering ranking, RAG retrieval, LLM inference, and evaluation tooling—and now contributes at Figma while advising Eppo on experimentation, statistics, and data engineering. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and manager, he has a strong statistical foundation (MS Statistics, Univ. of Chicago) and a track record of turning experimental rigor into production-ready models and pipelines. His background spans search ranking at Airbnb, anomaly detection and embedding systems at Slack, and policy-focused analytics early in his career, giving him a rare mix of product, infra, and causal/experimental skills. Colleagues rely on him to bridge statistics, data engineering, and product decisions—making "code make data make product" more than a tagline.
