• Work closely with software engineers and product managers to turn business problems into practical solutions.
• Be the Data Science expert in a small Data Products team alongside two data engineers and one data analyst.

• Work with our platform and LLM Ops teams when additional infrastructure support is needed.
• Help shape our ML and AI roadmap, identifying high-impact opportunities and influencing how ML capabilities evolve across our products.

Your profile

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning solutions in production.

• Experience owning ML projects end-to-end, including data preparation, modelling, deployment, and monitoring.
• Strong hands-on Python skills (scikit-learn or similar frameworks) and SQL.
• You’re proactive and comfortable working on problems that aren’t fully defined yet.
