💼 Yandex: Offer for ML specialists in two days

September 12–13, 2026 will see Weekend Offer ML — an online hiring event where candidates complete two technical sections and final interviews with teams over two days and can receive an offer. Registration is open until September 4.

🌍 Weekend hiring has become a standard tool for Yandex to compete for ML talent instead of multi-week cycles. The team composition shows the focus of investments: multimodal VLM and image generation in Alice AI, tool-calling and RL for Alice, agentic search on the Nova platform, RecSys with 2 billion product offers.

👤 They are looking for ML and DL engineers with at least 2 years of experience in NLP, CV, RecSys, and Classic ML, as well as product and data analysts. Everything is online: you can receive an offer over the weekend without quitting your job. Yandex Contest and medium-level LeetCode problems help with preparation.
