Engineering Team Culture

Getting Stuff Done, Ownership, Team Work, Excellence, and Agility.

You should join us if you want to ship stuff fast without sacrificing quality. We've put great importance on testing our code, cleaning it, treating errors first, and features later.

We also value growth and ownership. People make mistakes. We learn from them to avoid them in the future. We cannot achieve excellence if there are no bumps in the road.

About the Machine Learning Team

Join our Machine Learning team, where we’re transforming the ecommerce landscape by automating interactions between merchants and shoppers. Our mission is to make these experiences effortless for everyone involved.

Our team includes Software Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers who work together to advance AI-driven customer support. Our main focus is building an AI Agent that can accurately and efficiently respond to customer inquiries and drive sales!

As a company,

• we serve 15K+ e-commerces,

• we handle 1M+ merchant-shopper interactions per day

• we recently raised $30 Million Series C (crunchbase article)

The Machine Learning solutions we built are already embedded in the product:

• A state of the art Agentic LLM pipeline that crafts answers and execute e-commerce actions -bringing value to both Gorgias and our customers at scale!!!

  • rely on multiple providers (including in-house fine-tuned models),

  • implement AB testing to validate prompt engineering,

  • built a knowledge retrieval system to contextualize customer requests (ANN, rerankers, feedbackloops, knowledge graphs)

• Classification Algorithms based on classical NLP to identify non-support-related emails, detect intent, and infer customer sentiments

• Clustering based on minimum cost flow problems to discover new knowledge resources from non-automated interactions

• Product recommendation system to drive sales and conversions on merchant websites
