• Strong analytical skills with a track record of solving complex, real-world problems using data-driven approaches.


• Mindset to try different approaches and think outside the box.


• Ownership and leadership:




• Proven ability to lead projects, mentor team members, and manage end-to-end model development lifecycles.


• Communication:




• Communication and mentorship skills, with a collaborative mindset and a passion for helping others grow.

Bonus Experience

• Experience with model lifecycle management, pipelines, monitoring, and experiment tracking using modern tooling like MLflow, SageMaker, or Vertex AI.


• Experience building systems using AWS (Lambda, SageMaker, EC2, Batch, S3) or similar cloud platforms.


• Experience with probabilistic modeling (e.g., PyMC3, Stan).


• Familiarity with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j) and modeling network effects.


• Prior exposure to recommendation engines, survival models, or multi-touch attribution.


• Exposure to Looker, Tableau, or similar BI platforms.
