Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Hironaka is a seasoned engineering leader with 8+ years of experience building large-scale ML and feature platforms that power high-performance search, personalization, and ranking systems at Indeed. He combines hands-on expertise in Hadoop/Spark, AWS, and low-latency C++ systems from a past in equities trading to deliver production-grade ML pipelines and real-time personalization stores. At Indeed he has led cross-regional teams (US and APAC), scaled platform capabilities to serve DNN ranking and matching models, and repeatedly delivered double-digit wins on core engagement metrics. Ken holds an M.S. from the University of Tokyo and is skilled at turning research-grade models and metadata extraction into robust, production workflows. He’s equally comfortable architecting end-to-end ML frameworks and mentoring managers to grow multi-team organizations. A less obvious strength is his fusion of quantitative trading systems discipline with large-scale data engineering, which informs his emphasis on performance and operational rigor.
