  • Drive technical excellence by exploring and applying state-of-the-art methodologies in machine learning, optimization, and analytics.

  • Familiarity with at least one of the following domains: customer analytics, route-to-market strategy, or commercial operations.
  • Experience with model explainability techniques (e.g., SHAP, feature importance, dimensionality reduction methods such as PCA) and interpreting model outputs for business use.
  • Experience with experimentation frameworks, model validation, and performance monitoring.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including version control, CI/CD, and reproducible workflows.
  • Ability to work with ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and translate complex business needs into structured analytical solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex models, trade-offs, and insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
