Senior🎓
Top SchoolMelanie Tosik is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in search and recommendation systems, currently building search at SoundCloud in Berlin. With 11 years of experience across startups and media—most recently leading ML efforts at Grubhub and multiple data science roles at BuzzFeed—she designs production-grade ranking, personalization, and ML infrastructure. Her background bridges computational linguistics (BS) and an MS in Computer Science from NYU Courant, enabling deep expertise in NLP, semantic understanding, and user behavior modeling. She has applied these skills to projects ranging from resume parsing and semantic microservices to generative AI and ad targeting, often focusing on scalable systems that turn language signals into measurable product value. Colleagues describe her as equally comfortable prototyping research ideas and shipping robust, real-world ML pipelines.
