Senior🎓
Top SchoolMyungha Jang is a Senior Research Engineer at Netflix with 12 years of experience building production ML for recommendation, search, ranking, and user understanding after roles at Meta and Pinterest. She holds a PhD from UMass Amherst where she conducted information retrieval research at CIIR, and brings a research-to-product mindset that repeatedly moved novel ranking and candidate-retrieval ideas into large-scale systems. At Meta she worked on feed quality, personalization, and search features; at Pinterest she led related-pins candidate retrieval efforts before joining Netflix ML Research. Based in Palo Alto, she combines deep academic grounding with hands-on engineering to optimize user-facing ML pipelines, and she often operates at the intersection of applied research and production constraints. An understated strength is her track record of navigating long-lived platform tradeoffs—balancing offline experimentation, online metrics, and scalable inference—to deliver measurable product impact.
