Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSanja Simonovikj is a Senior Data Scientist at Indeed with a 4+ year track record of building production-grade AI and NLP systems that extract and represent metadata from jobs and resumes to improve matching at scale. An MIT MEng and BSci in AI/Computer Science, she combines rigorous research experience from CSAIL—where her master's thesis probed human-aligned neural representations—with hands-on product delivery across companies like Microsoft, IBM, Qualcomm, and Shell. She has a strong applied research pedigree (first-author paper on code representation and malware detection) and repeatedly turns novel models into shipped systems, from AST-based malware classifiers to lightweight Office ML prototypes and internal tooling that slashed debugging times. An IMO award winner and multi-hackathon champion, Sanja brings unusually deep mathematical intuition to practical ML engineering. Based in Toronto, she blends theory and product instincts to drive measurable business impact through metadata and taxonomy solutions.
