We are looking for a Data Scientist to design, develop, and deploy machine learning solutions that solve business problems. The role involves working across the ML lifecycle — from data analysis and feature engineering to model development, evaluation, and productionisation.
Experience Range
2 – 4 Years of professional experience
Department / Domain
Data Science & Analytics (Fintech / Risk / Fraud preferred)
Employment Type
Full-Time / Permanent
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy machine learning models for classification, regression, and other predictive analytics use cases.
- Apply strong understanding of machine learning algorithms including Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting models (XGBoost), Ensemble techniques, and Neural networks / deep learning approaches where applicable.
- Perform feature engineering, including data preprocessing, encoding, missing value treatment, feature transformations, and creation of meaningful business features.
- Analyse large datasets to identify patterns, generate insights, and build data-driven solutions.
- Evaluate model performance using appropriate metrics such as AUC, Precision-Recall, F1, KS, Gini, and PSI.
- Handle real-world ML challenges including class imbalance, model calibration, data leakage, and model performance monitoring.
- Build scalable and production-ready ML solutions and collaborate with engineering teams for deployment.
- Document models, including objectives, data inputs, performance metrics, and limitations.
- Stay updated with advancements in machine learning and apply relevant techniques to business problems.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Experience building, improving, and independently scaling machine learning models.
- Strong foundation in machine learning concepts, statistical frameworks, and model optimization.
- Hands-on mastery of Python (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn) and SQL databases.
- Advanced feature engineering capabilities, data preprocessing, and experience handling real-world datasets (including class imbalances and complex workflows).
- Deep familiarity with structural model evaluation metrics, workflows, and execution strategies.
- Exposure to deep learning configurations, sequence models, or transfer learning approaches.
- Ability to build production-ready ML models, collaborate with engineering teams, and translate complex business problems into effective ML solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working in fintech, lending, risk, fraud, or other data-intensive domains.
- Experience with model deployment, monitoring, and ML systems.
- Familiarity with research papers and emerging machine learning techniques.
