* Experience in a specific domain (e.g., marketing, operations, fraud, personalization, NLP) is a plus
* Hands-on experience with LLM stacks (e.g., Mistral, LangChain, Chroma, Hugging Face Transformers).
* Interest in staying current with AI trends and contributing to internal R&D or innovation initiatives.
* Work across and support a range of data use cases including analytics and data provisioning
* Lead the design, development, and deployment of data strategies, machine learning models and advanced analytics solutions to support recommendation and insight to production use cases
* Apply statistical techniques to extract insights and support data-driven decision-making.
* Work alongside data engineering in requirements for data pipelines and feature engineering
* Promote best practices in data science, model validation, documentation, and reproducibility.
* Full-time.
* Limited travel may be required depending on team needs.
