  • Ensure high standards of data quality across pipelines and advocate for best practices in data usage across teams.
  • Train, evaluate, and fine-tune models using appropriate statistical and machine learning techniques.
  • Deploy models into production using MLOps infrastructure and monitor for performance, data drift, and business impact.
  • Communicate technical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders, enabling data-informed decision-making.
  • Document solutions thoroughly and contribute to improving team-wide technical standards and collaboration.
  • Promote a strong data culture by sharing insights, mentoring peers, and supporting cross-team initiatives.

What We're Looking For

  • Master’s or higher in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Computer Science, or Data Science.
  • At least three years of professional experience applying machine learning in production environments.
  • Strong coding skills in Python and SQL, with a focus on clean, efficient, and testable code.
  • Proven understanding of statistical concepts including hypothesis testing, causal inference, and model validation.
  • Experience working with cloud platforms—Google Cloud Platform (GCP) preferred.
  • Familiarity with end-to-end ML development, from prototyping to deployment and monitoring.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to translate technical results into actionable insights.
  • A collaborative mindset, with emphasis on empathy, active listening, and knowledge sharing.
  • Self-driven approach with the ability to manage projects independently and deliver high-quality outcomes.

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in delivery, mobility, or financial services industries.
  • Background in building ML-powered features for digital applications or web platforms.
