The Mail Intelligence team is the brain behind the inbox. We are responsible for building the next generation of platforms and services that enable Yahoo to deliver deeply personalized, intelligent, and context-aware experiences to hundreds of millions of users globally. We process billions of messages and manage data on a petabyte scale.

Using cutting-edge AI algorithms and foundation models

, we extract knowledge and interconnect information from diverse sources to simplify our users' lives. Building this knowledge provides many challenges in the areas of

natural language processing, machine learning techniques

, and petabyte-scale data processing. You will build tools and workflows to make it easier to manage and act on this vast information, applying your insights to build innovative consumer applications for Yahoo Mail.
