• Develop and implement advanced algorithms to analyze vast datasets, identify patterns, and extract actionable insights
• Collaborate closely with engineering and product management to develop proof-of-concept implementations that shape future product features.
• Stay abreast of relevant conference publications, competitive analyses and industry best practices, to extract key insights and to inform team strategies.
• Communicate complex analytical findings and recommendations clearly and concisely to Master’s degree in computer science or a doctorate in a STEM discipline (e.g., Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering).
  

WE'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Solid understanding of the statistical and mathematical foundations of machine learning algorithms, and the ability to translate them into real-world solutions.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language used for ML (Python, R or Java).
• Experience with common ML libraries (e.g., Scikit-learn, Pandas, PyTorch, Matplotlib etc.).
• Experience with building ML pipelines on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently as well as part of a collaborative team.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making
• Experience publishing research (e.g., in peer-reviewed journals or conference proceedings) in STEM fields and presenting at relevant events.
• Familiarity with Big Data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hadoop) is good to have, but not a must.
