• Apply a broad range of machine learning techniques—including classical, deep learning, GenAI, and agent-based methods—to solve diverse business problems
• Design and execute analytical experiments to validate hypotheses, test strategies, and uncover new business opportunities
• Identify causes of business outcomes, and amplify positive results through the intervention of our deployed systems
• Collaborate with engineers to implement models and intelligence systems in a scalable, maintainable, and production-ready manner
• Extract, clean, and structure data from both structured and unstructured sources to support modeling and analysis
• Champion adoption and usage of data and AI products through clear communication and stakeholder enablement

Skills and Qualifications

• Expert level knowledge in Python and SQL (experience with DBT a plus)
• Proficient using version controls systems (git, ideally)
• Experience with A/B testing frameworks, causal inference methods, and experimental design to measure incremental business impact
• Proven track record of building sophisticated predictive models (e.g. churn prediction, lead scoring, customer lifetime value, propensity modeling) that demonstrably improved go-to-market metrics
• Experience prompt engineering, working with, and evaluating Gen AI systems
• Ability to effectively communicate with non-technical audiences, and using data to persuasively present to senior management to inform strategic decision making

Preferred Qualifications
