  • Continuously optimize algorithms for performance, accuracy, and efficiency.
  • Deployment and Integration:
  • Own end-to-end model deployment processes into production environments using Kubernetes and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP).
  • Define and manage MLOps best practices, including model monitoring, automated retraining, and CI/CD for ML pipelines.
  • Champion automation of model training, validation, and deployment workflows to improve system reliability.
  • Analytics Strategy & Enablement:
  • Act as a custodian of organizational data, ensuring data quality, consistency, and readiness for advanced analytics and modeling.
  • Translate complex data insights into business impact, clearly communicating ROI to stakeholders.
  • Drive adoption of analytics and data-driven decision-making across teams by mentoring and enabling business stakeholders.
  • Leadership & Collaboration:
  • Mentor junior data scientists and analysts, providing technical guidance and career development support.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering and product leadership to shape the company’s data science strategy.
  • Stay ahead of emerging AI/ML trends, tools, and research, and advocate for their adoption when relevant.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Python and SQL, with hands-on expertise in ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn.
  • Strong knowledge of deployment tools (Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms) and MLOps best practices.
  • Proven ability to design and maintain production-grade ML systems.
  • Deep understanding of statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and data visualization.
  • Knowledge of cloud-serverless technologies (AWS Lambda, GCP Functions, Azure Functions).
  • Strong familiarity with GCP is a plus.
  • Prior experience deploying ML solutions in E-commerce or high-growth environments is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity to work with Git and GitHub.
  • Dataform is a must

Experience

  • 5+ years in data science, including hands-on ML model development and deployment.
  • 3+ years in data analytics, statistical modeling, and experimentation.
  • Experience mentoring or leading junior data scientists.
  • Exposure to fast-scaling startup or tech environments is a strong plus
