The role combines advanced statistical modeling, Python-based development, and cloud technologies to solve high-impact, real-world problems. You will work closely with product and engineering teams to translate complex data into actionable insights and production-ready solutions. The environment is highly collaborative, remote-first, and focused on measurable outcomes. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys owning end-to-end ML systems and seeing their work directly influence business growth.

Accountabilities

• Develop, implement, and productionize machine learning models that improve personalization, search ranking, and recommendation systems.
• Design and build data-driven algorithms that enhance user experience and drive measurable improvements in engagement and conversion rates.
• Apply advanced statistical methods and data mining techniques to extract insights from large-scale datasets.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to integrate ML models into production systems and ensure scalability and reliability.
• Continuously monitor model performance and iterate based on real-world data and business feedback.
• Translate business problems into analytical and machine learning solutions with clear impact on key performance indicators.
• Work with cloud infrastructure and data pipelines to support scalable ML workflows.
• Contribute to experimentation and A/B testing frameworks to validate model effectiveness.

Requirements
