The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in building end-to-end ML solutions — from raw data to production-deployed models — and can collaborate effectively with business and engineering teams to deliver measurable impact.This is a hands-on individual contributor role. We are specifically looking for traditional Data Scientists with strong ML and statistics fundamentals — not Data Engineers or BI professionals.### BUSINESS OBJECTIVES* Maintain, monitor, and continuously enhance existing machine learning models in production. * Identify and build new ML use cases that drive measurable business impact. * Apply advanced statistical and machine learning techniques to solve real-world business problems. * Partner with business stakeholders to translate complex problems into data-driven solutions. ### KEY RESPONSIBILITIES* Own the full ML lifecycle: data collection, data preparation, feature engineering, model development, validation, and deployment. * Build and deliver at least 1–2 statistical or machine learning models independently from scratch. * Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into scalable AI/ML solutions. * Ensure post-deployment model performance monitoring, continuous improvement, and retraining as needed. * Work closely with data engineering teams to ensure scalable model deployment in AWS cloud environments. * Communicate findings, model performance, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. * Stay up to date with traditional statistical approaches as well as modern AI/ML methodologies. ### TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED#### Must Have* **Machine Learning:** Hands-on experience with supervised and unsupervised algorithms (Linear/Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, XGBoost, SVM, Clustering, etc.) * **Statistics & Mathematics:** Strong understanding of probability, hypothesis testing, statistical inference, distributions, and applied mathematics. * **Statistical Modeling:** Demonstrated ability to build, evaluate, and interpret statistical models for real business use cases. * **Python:** Advanced proficiency — data manipulation, model building, evaluation, and pipeline development using Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, etc. * **SQL:** Strong SQL skills for data extraction, transformation, and feature creation (joins, CTEs, window functions, aggregations). * **Practical ML Deployment:** Must have independently built and deployed at least 1–2 production-grade ML models. #### Good to Have* **Cloud Exposure:** Familiarity with AWS (S3, SageMaker, EC2, Glue) or any cloud ecosystem for ML model deployment. * **MLOps Basics:** Experience with model monitoring, experiment tracking (MLflow), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Docker). * **Domain Knowledge:** Prior experience in Insurance or Banking is preferred. However, supply chain, e-commerce, FMCG, auto, or retail is also acceptable. * **Visualization:** Ability to present insights using Power BI, Tableau, or Python-based libraries (Matplotlib, Seaborn). * **Generative AI:** Exposure to GenAI/LLMs is a bonus — not a mandatory requirement for this role. ### WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR* ✗ Data Engineers Profiles focused primarily on building ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehousing, or infrastructure — without evidence of building ML models. * ✗ BI / Reporting Analysts Profiles primarily focused on dashboards, Power BI, Tableau, or data storytelling without hands-on model building. * ✗ GenAI-Only Specialists Profiles where the primary experience is limited to LLMs, RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, or chatbot development without foundational ML and statistics. ### PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS* 3+ years of hands-on experience as a Data Scientist (not Data Engineer, BI Analyst, or BA). * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field. * Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset with the ability to break down complex business problems. * Proven record of building and deploying at least 1–2 statistical or ML models that delivered business value. * Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments and collaborating across cross-functional teams. * Prior exposure to Insurance, Banking, Supply Chain, E-Commerce, FMCG, or Automotive domains.
