Summary
Taeyeong Jeong is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of experience building recommendation systems and applied RL in production, currently based in Redwood City and leading ML efforts at Moloco. He progressed through multiple ML roles at Moloco since 2020 after fulfilling alternative military service by contributing ML expertise at PUBG Corporation. Taeyeong’s background includes internships at NAVER Clova and Kakao where he developed CNN-based multimodal ranking modules and bandit-based recommendation improvements, demonstrating a strong blend of research-driven modeling and pragmatic engineering. He studied computer science at KAIST and participated in Samsung’s Software Membership, signaling long-standing ties to Korea’s elite tech ecosystem. Known for turning ranking and RL research into deployable systems, he balances model interpretability and production constraints to drive measurable product impact. A less obvious strength is his continuity of focus on recommendation and bandit methods across academia, internships, and industry roles, which gives him deep domain specialization.
