Whether it's a Friday-night feast, a post-gym poke bowl, or grabbing some groceries, our tech platform connects tens of millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of restaurant, grocery and convenience partners across the globe.
About this role
Join the Partner Growth & New Verticals Data Science team, where you will build production-grade solutions that directly shape how thousands of restaurant partners thrive on our platform. Working closely with commercial and product stakeholders, you'll own meaningful outcomes - from defining what partner success looks like to delivering models that scale across our global markets. We're a team that moves together, building data science capabilities that become one of our most valuable business assets.
These are some of the key components to the position:
- Raise the bar by building and deploying scalable, production-grade models that solve real-world business challenges.
- Translate complex problems into structured ML project lifecycles, with strong grounding in forecasting, causal modeling, statistical inference and online/offline evaluation.
- Move fast to explore and apply Generative AI techniques, unlocking new ways to serve our restaurant partners.
- Drive excellence by identifying data-driven opportunities and turning ambiguous insights into clear, actionable business strategies.
- Collaborate closely with Data and ML Engineers to build maintainable pipelines that grow alongside our evolving business needs.
- Keep it simple by creating clarity and efficiency in our technical design and deployment decisions.
What will you bring to the team?
- Proven ability to build and deploy models in production environments, moving beyond notebooks, to solve business problems.
- Fluent in Python, with the ability to write clean, testable code that integrates seamlessly with our state-of-the-art ML Platform.
- SQL-native - confident navigating complex data warehouses to wrangle data, engineer features, and get to answers independently.
- Proficiency in deploying and monitoring ML models using Docker and CI/CD tools.
- Hands-on experience applying Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI tools, including agentic workflows, embedding-based similarity search and fine-tuning.
- Ability to step into the shoes of our partners to ensure your data solutions meet their true needs.
- Strong communication skills to translate technical findings into clear, compelling narratives that drive stakeholder alignment and informed decision-making.
- A determined mindset when facing uncertainty, asking the right questions to create clarity before coding begins
