Summary

At Hyatt, we’re working to Advance Care through data-driven decisions and automation. This mission serves as the foundation for every decision as we create the future of travel. We can’t do that without the best talent – talent that is innovative, curious, and driven to create exceptional experiences for our guests, customers, owners, and colleagues.

Hyatt seeks an extraordinary Gen AI Engineering leader to help build the algorithmic assets and features that Hyatt guests, members, customers, and internal users leverage to transform the guest experience and drive efficiencies across the operations of our business.

In this role, you will design and implement Gen AI solutions and partner closely with ML Engineering, Personalization, Forecasting, and Decision Science domains. This role will work cross-functionally with various data science teams, data engineering teams, and data architecture teams. The ideal candidate can be a hands-on technical leader who is skilled as an implementation engineer while also leading the team to innovate and build cutting-edge Gen AI products and services.

You will be a part of a ground-floor, hands-on, highly visible team which is positioned for growth and is highly collaborative and passionate about machine learning and AI.

Applying the latest techniques and approaches across the domains of data science, machine learning, and AI isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a must. You will be part of a team passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion, committed to nurturing curiosity and new skills and building connections with stakeholders, colleagues, and guests across the organization.
