If you’re ready to go beyond model-building and want to create systems that are smart, scalable, and impactful this could be the role for you.

Key responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Drive the entire data science lifecycle—from problem framing, data exploration, modeling, deployment, to performance monitoring
• Collaboration & Co-Creation: Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Stakeholders across geographies to shape data-driven solutions with real-world impact
• Product Analytics & Forecasting: Build models and systems that improve demand planning, pricing, and behaviour prediction
• Experimentation & Road mapping: Design, test, and iterate on ML experiments; set milestones and continuously improve
• Scalable Infrastructure: Follow best practices in MLOps and software engineering to ensure reusable and maintainable pipelines
• Automation Mindset: Build systems that automate repetitive tasks across analytics workflows (e.g. feature generation, model tracking)
• AI-Tooling: Use AI tools/frameworks (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Agents) to boost productivity and support faster experimentation
• Insight Communication: Translate complex findings into actionable business recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences

Skills required:

• Degree in computer science, Statistics, Engineering, Mathematics, Bioinformatics or similar
• Preferably 2-4 years’ experience in data science
• Professional level English - verbal and written
• Strong background in applied machine learning and data modeling (e.g. regression, classification, tree-based models, clustering)
• Solid grasp of mathematics, statistics, and applied analytics in real-world settings
• Experience with Python (pandas, scikit-learn, etc.) and SQL.
• Familiarity with distributed computing frameworks (e.g. Spark, Dask) is a plus.
• Practical knowledge of ML Ops principles: model deployment, testing, monitoring
• Cloud experience (Azure Databricks, AWS, or GCP) preferred
• Self-driven and adaptable mindset, able to work independently and across time zones
• Excellent communication and presentation skills

What you can expect:

• Work with a modern AI-native stack (e.g. MLflow, Azure ML, Copilot, vector stores)
• Exposure to international teams and cross-functional collaboration
• Structured onboarding with clear milestones and feedback
• Continuous learning & access to global resources
