  • Mentor, coach, and provide technical leadership to junior data scientists, fostering their growth and expertise within the team.
  • Provide expert technical guidance and consultation on complex AI issues and solution feasibility to business stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor.

  • Previous experience in commercial teams (sales / marketing) with a proven ability to deliver quick, impactful wins in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • A PhD or Master’s degree in a quantitative field such as Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or Econometrics is highly desirable.
  • Strong hands-on experience in causal inference modeling, online experimentation, large language models (LLMs), and revenue-driving machine learning projects such as upsell prediction, lead scoring models, time series forecasting, and Next-Best-Action systems.
  • Proven experience with cloud and big data technologies such as Google Vertex AI, Optimus, Airflow, and handling large-scale datasets in platforms like BigQuery.
  • Exceptional proficiency in Python, with the ability to write clean, efficient, and production-grade code beyond Jupyter notebooks.
  • Strong skills in SQL databases, coupled with extensive experience working with tools such as Spark in cloud environments.
