Recommendation Systems

Nextory AB

You know that bit where every company says they’re “changing the world”? Yeah, it can feel a little forced. But we like to think our story actually has some realness to it. Our story begins with Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki, who came to Sweden from Syria as kids and discovered that books could be a bridge - helping them learn the language, understand the culture, and explore new worlds. A thought emerged, what if everyone could have that? And just like that, Nextory was born - your all-access pass to read, listen, and discover new perspectives without limits. And now, we're on a quest to find a Machine Learning Engineer.  Let us tell you about the role 📖 As a Machine Learning Engineer at Nextory, you'll build the systems that power how users discover, understand, and engage with books. You'll work across AI agents, search, recommendations, retrieval, and product experiences, turning advances in AI into features that users interact with every day. Some examples of what you'll be doing: Build intelligent recommendation, search, and discovery systems that help users find their next favorite book and connect with the right content faster. Use AI, user behavior, and content understanding to continuously improve relevance, engagement, and user experience. Design, build, and operate scalable machine learning systems using LLMs, retrieval, recommendation, and agent technologies. Collaborate across product and engineering teams to deliver reliable AI-powered features with measurable user impact. Your story so far 👀 We believe you're an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and turning emerging technology into products that people love using. You are comfortable moving between product thinking and technical implementation, and you thrive in environments where experimentation, ownership, and fast iteration are part of everyday work.
