The Notification AI team builds large-scale, high-quality machine learning systems that deliver the right content to the right member, through the right channel, at the right time-and at the right frequency. Our mission is to maintain a healthy, relevant, and delightful notification ecosystem that helps members achieve their professional goals while ensuring every interaction provides meaningful value.

We power AI-driven systems that target, rank, and make decisions across LinkedIn's notification portfolio, enabling product teams to deliver member value efficiently and responsibly.
