Emapta Global; Mandaluyong; On-site; PHP 1,138,000 - 1,897,000; Full time

Job description

Own Production-Grade AI Across Enterprise Data and Digital Media

Great models create value when they make it beyond experimentation. As a Full Stack Data Scientist, you'll own machine learning solutions from commercial problem and model development through deployment, monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement. Apply strong Python, SQL, GCP, and Google Vertex AI expertise to production-grade ML while partnering directly with business stakeholders. With Emapta, gain pioneer-team exposure, international collaboration, continuous development, and room to expand strong classical ML foundations into generative and agentic AI.
