Working closely with engineering, product, and client teams, you'll turn forecasts into actionable insights and measurable business impact.

What You'll Work On

• Forecasting Models - Build and scale time-series models to predict campaign KPIs (conversions, clicks, opens), accounting for seasonality, external signals, and rare events.
• Optimization & Recommendations - Create algorithms that drive actionable recommendations (budget allocation, send-time optimization, audience targeting) to maximize revenue and retention.
• Experimentation Platforms - Design and evaluate A/B and multivariate testing frameworks with statistical rigor.
• ML Infrastructure - Partner with engineers to productionize scalable pipelines for training, serving, monitoring, and evaluation.
• Innovation - Contribute to patents, publish internal research, and share knowledge across teams.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have Skills:

• 5+ years' experience in applied Data Science / Machine Learning.
• Fluency in Python and SQL; strong coding practices (modular, testable, clean).
• Proven track record developing and deploying ML systems at scale (forecasting, recommendation, causal inference, anomaly detection).
• Deep knowledge of statistics, time series, and experiment design.
• Ability to take projects from idea → design → production → measurable impact.
• Strong communicator who thrives in cross-functional, global teams.
• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related field.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience with real-time ML systems, feature stores, or orchestration tools (Airflow, MLflow).
• Cloud/data stack expertise (AWS, Snowflake).
• Background in adtech, e-commerce, or martech.
• Deployment experience with Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI.
• Exposure to LLMs, GenAI, or prompt engineering.

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact ML systems powering Fortune 500 brands.
• Join a patent-driven, research-inspired culture (weekly ML paper reviews, open innovation).
• Autonomy and trust: freedom to chart your path, supported by product and engineering partners.
• Collaborative, multicultural, remote-first environment with flexible hours.
• Competitive compensation, equity, pension contributions, PTO.
• A healthy work culture: clear meeting policies, focus time, and minimal bureaucracy.
