• Partner with product, engineering, marketing, operations, and leadership to translate business goals into measurable outcomes.
• Lead applied AI/LLM initiatives, including semantic search, assistants, automation, and content generation tools.
• Develop, deploy, and maintain machine learning models for personalization, engagement prediction, churn, LTV forecasting, and fraud detection.

• Communicate complex modeling trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  
  

Requirements

• Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost).
• Proven experience deploying and operating ML models in production environments.
• Expertise in one or more areas: recommendations/personalization, time-series forecasting, or fraud/risk modeling.
• Familiarity with modern data stacks and pipeline tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt, BigQuery, Snowflake) and MLOps practices.
• Strong experimentation mindset and ability to link modeling work to measurable business impact.
• Excellent communication, strategic thinking, and leadership capabilities.
  
  

Benefits

• Opportunity to define and lead the data science and AI function with direct impact on products and business outcomes.
