ML Generalist at Meta
Shanghai, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJi Li is an ML generalist and leader with a PhD in Mathematics and a decade-plus track record turning research-grade AI into real-world products that serve millions. He has led decision science and data teams across startups and enterprises—most recently at Meta after senior roles at Finfare, Hyundai Capital America, Skai, and CLARA Analytics—building recommendation, semantic search, and personalization systems that measurably improved engagement and conversion. Equally comfortable with deep learning, NLP, and big data analytics, Ji bridges rigorous computational theory (with journal publications) and pragmatic product metrics to drive business outcomes. He’s known for creating collaborative, continuous-learning teams and shipping production ML frameworks used in high-throughput environments. Based in Shanghai with international experience in the U.S., he combines academic depth with hands-on engineering and product instincts. A less obvious strength: his math-first perspective often yields compact, theoretically grounded solutions that scale in production.
