Job description

  • Design and develop innovative algorithms to power a personalized shopping experience, leveraging cutting-edge machine learning techniques
  • Deploy your solutions into production, taking full ownership and ensuring high performance and scalability
  • Combine your data science expertise with a pragmatic, agile approach to find innovative solutions and drive measurable results within a fast-paced environment
  • Challenge the status quo by identifying areas for improvement in existing retrieval and reranking systems, particularly those relying heavily on business logic, and propose data-driven solutions
  • Thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with a flat hierarchy, where your ideas and contributions can make a real difference

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Python or experience with at least one scientific computing language (e.g., MATLAB, R, Julia, C++)
  • Strong SQL skills with experience in analytical or transactional database environments
  • Theoretical understanding of machine learning principles, coupled with a hands-on approach to building and iterating on models
  • Proven experience in building and deploying machine learning solutions that deliver tangible business value
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and tools for efficiently handling large datasets (e.g. pandas, numpy, dask, arrow, polars)
  • Experience designing, building, and managing data pipelines
  • Familiarity with cloud-based model training and serving platforms (e.g., GCP Vertex AI, Amazon SageMaker)
  • Solid understanding of statistical methods for model evaluation
  • Big Data: Experience analyzing large datasets using statistical and machine learning techniques
  • DevOps: Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab CI/CD, Hashicorp Terraform) is a plus
  • Generative AI: Experience with generative AI and agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, ADK, CrewAI, Pydantic AI) is a plus
  • Understanding of recommendation, retrieval and reranking systems in e-commerce and retail is a plus
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Ability to effectively communicate complex machine learning concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively within a team to establish standards and best practices for deploying machine learning models
  • A proactive approach to knowledge sharing and fostering a quick development environment

Nice To Have

  • Experience with BigQuery Knowledge of time series and (graph) neural network models
  • Familiarity with statistical testing and Gaussian Processes
  • Strong Knowledge of Computer Vision libraries, (e.g. OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
  • Experience maintaining Machine Learning pipelines through MLOps frameworks (e.g. MLFlow, Kubeflow)
  • Experience with deep learning libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch)
  • Experience building interactive dashboards (e.g. using Streamlit, Voila, Gradio)
  • Experience with GCP or AWS, including infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines
  • Practical knowledge of Docker
