Job Description



Job Description

YOUR ROLE AS A: 

Data Scientist 

WHAT YOU’LL CHAMPION:

  • You will Improve models and algorithms to further optimize business outcomes.

  • As a Data Scientist, you will work across the following areas:

    • Exploratory analysis: use data to suggest and prove hypotheses

    • Modeling: built optimization / predictive / statistical models to learn from data and estimate the unknowns.

  • Data operations: query data, deploy models and automate pipelines in cloud.

  • Experience with common data science toolkits, programming languages, visualisation tools and SQL/NoSQL databases.

  • Good applied statistical knowledge with emphasis in business and finance related statistical distributions, statistical testing, modeling, regression analysis, etc.

  • Experience with distributed computing platforms and open-source tools and libraries.

  • Familiar or prone to adopt design thinking methods.

  • Able to work under pressure and change, and balance among speed, reliability, interpretability.

  • Good working knowledge of productivity tools such as G Suite, Git, Jira, Confluence.

  • Experience with code versioning, code review and documentation.

WHO YOU ARE:

  • Possesses BS/MS/PhD in IT, Mathematics, Science or Engineering discipline with 1 - 5 years relevant experience beyond first degree

  • Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply

Experience in one or more of the following specialized areas:

Machine Learning

  • 1–5 years building production ML systems — beyond notebooks and Kaggle competitions.

  • Solid understanding of machine learning algorithms — XGBoost, LightGBM, neural networks, decision trees — with a clear grasp of why you tuned what you tuned.

  • Strong Python and hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.

  • Demonstrable understanding of forecasting and regression pitfalls — lag feature leakage, target leakage in cross-validation, high-cardinality categorical handling, and the trade-offs between MAE, MAPE, and RMSE.

  • Ability to interpret models — SHAP, partial dependence, residual diagnostics — and explain results to non-technical stakeholders without dumbing them down.

  • Hands-on Google Cloud Platform experience, particularly BigQuery (window functions, partitioning, cost-aware SQL) and Vertex AI (training jobs, model registry, endpoints, pipelines).

  • Nice-to-have: deep learning for tabular and time-series problems (TFT, N-BEATS, NeuralProphet, TabPFN, Chronos); AutoML tooling such as PyCaret for rapid baselining.

Algorithm Engineering

  • Strong ability to implement, improve, and deploy ML and mathematical models in Python (Golang a plus for performance-critical services).

  • Experience productionizing models end-to-end — from SQL feature pipelines to deployed serving endpoints — on GCP using Vertex AI and BigQuery.

  • Conduct systems tests for security, performance, and availability of deployed models.

  • Develop and maintain design documentation, error analysis runbooks, and troubleshooting guides

  • Git-based workflows, CI/CD discipline, and code review hygiene

  • Monitoring discipline — drift detection, data quality checks, model performance tracking in production.

  • Nice-to-have: experience with LLM-based or agentic tooling (LangGraph, MCP servers, prompt engineering for structured outputs, eval harnesses for LLM systems).
