• Solving real-world business challenges using data from our app, vehicle telematics devices, and field operations.
• Developing optimization models for vehicle allocation and routing, considering real operational constraints and delivering actionable plans for field teams.
• Building time series forecasting models to predict demand across different time periods and locations, including sparse data and strong seasonality.
• Designing anomaly detection models to identify unusual patterns in streaming sensor and operational data, and determine which signals require alerts.
• Developing classification models for risk and propensity prediction using tabular data, as well as image classification.
• Collaborating with business teams to define problems, success metrics, and expected outcomes before model development.
• Building scalable models using Python and SQL on AWS infrastructure (Redshift, S3, Airflow, Kinesis, Druid).
• Partnering with data engineers to deploy models into production through Airflow jobs or services, ensuring continuous monitoring and reliability.
• Measuring model impact against baselines or control groups, tracking business KPIs, and continuously improving models after deployment.

Our game-changer Data Science Professional profile at TikTak

• 3+ years of experience in Data Science or Machine Learning Engineering, with hands-on experience deploying and maintaining at least one production model.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Industrial Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and statistical methods.
• Solid experience in at least two of the following areas: optimization, time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and classification.
• Hands-on experience with classical machine learning techniques for tabular and time series data (e.g., gradient boosting), including time-based validation and data leakage prevention.
• Ability to translate business challenges into measurable data science solutions and demonstrate impact through financial outcomes or KPIs.
• Experience with AWS services (SageMaker, Lambda), Docker, and CI/CD is a plus.
• Familiarity with optimization solvers such as OR-Tools is a plus.
• Experience working with geospatial and real-time data technologies (H3, GPS, Kinesis, Druid) is a plus.
• Knowledge of computer vision applications, particularly vehicle damage detection and classification (e.g., scratches vs. dents), is a plus.
• Experience building solutions with LLMs and Generative AI (LLM APIs, RAG, agent workflows), especially for operational use cases, is a plus.
• Previous experience in car sharing, ride hailing, mobility, or logistics industries is a plus.
