Approaches range from classic regressions to deep learning. Work with ML engineers to deploy containerized inference services into production environments.
• Business-Driven Analytics: Identify opportunities to drive value using ML, working cross-functionally with stakeholders in Product, Engineering, and Operations. Design and lead analyses to validate business hypotheses and influence decisions.
• Project Ownership: Lead and contribute to multiple concurrent projects. Drive scoping, experimentation, model iteration, stakeholder communication, and post-deployment monitoring. Contribute to sprint planning and roadmap prioritization.
• Mentorship & Collaboration: Provide technical mentorship to junior data scientists. Partner with Engineering and Product to ensure ML solutions are scalable, measurable, and robust in production.

Role Qualifications

• 4+ years in a data science or applied ML role, preferably with consumer-facing or e-commerce applications
• Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL
• Strong statistical and analytical skills (e.g., hypothesis testing, distributional analysis, uncertainty estimation)
• Experience with a wide range of ML techniques (e.g., tree-based models, clustering, neural networks, time series forecasting) and model evaluation (troubleshooting, metrics, benchmarking)
• Hands-on experience deploying ML models to production (e.g., containerization, monitoring, A/B testing)
• Strong familiarity with ML tools and libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Jupyter Notebooks)
• Experience working with large-scale distributed data systems and real-time data pipelines (e.g., Kafka)
