About the Role

We are looking for a Data Scientist to build and maintain high-quality models that directly influence business decisions across pricing, shipping, conversion optimization, supplier intelligence, and operational automation. You will work closely with our Senior Data Scientist and cross-functional teams to turn well-defined analytical problems into production-ready solutions. This role is right for someone who is strong at modeling, cares about rigor, and wants to see their work drive real outcomes.

What You'll Do

Modeling & Analysis

• Build predictive, optimization, and ranking models across key business domains including pricing, forecasting, and conversion
• Select appropriate modeling approaches by balancing performance, interpretability, and maintainability
• Conduct rigorous model evaluation using both technical metrics and business-relevant outcomes
• Iterate on models based on feedback from experiments and production performance

Experimentation & Evaluation

• Support experiment design and analyze results to validate model effectiveness
• Monitor model performance and coverage in production
• Identify and flag degradation or drift proactively

Scalable & Production-Ready Work

• Write clean, reusable code that can be productionized, not just prototyped
• Collaborate with Data Analysts and Engineers to deploy and maintain solutions
• Contribute to shared feature logic, data models, and analytical standards

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work with Senior Data Scientists, Product, and Engineering teams to understand requirements and deliver reliable solutions
• Communicate modeling decisions and trade-offs clearly to technical peers

About You

Required

• 2-5 years of experience in Data Science, Applied ML, or Advanced Analytics
• Strong proficiency in Python and ML libraries (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch) and SQL
• Hands-on experience with predictive modeling, experimentation, or optimization
• Solid understanding of statistics, model evaluation, and complexity vs. interpretability trade-offs
• Experience working with large datasets; familiarity with distributed computing tools like Spark is a plus
• Ability to write production-quality code and collaborate with engineering teams

Preferred

• Experience in B2B marketplaces, eCommerce, pricing, supply chain, or operations analytics
• Experience with Databricks or large-scale data environments
• Exposure to ranking systems, forecasting, or recommendation systems
• Familiarity with ML deployment and monitoring in production environments

What Success Looks Like

• Models are built rigorously, ship on time, and perform reliably in production
• You iterate quickly and improve model quality based on experiment results
• Your code and modeling work is reusable and raises the team's overall capability
• You communicate trade-offs clearly and flag risks early
