Job Description

This role focuses on improving and establishing digital tools that would help the business within APAC especially, working on the design and implementation of data science capabilities.

• Collaborate with product & business stakeholders to define potential data science use-cases to drive customer personalization and engagement and develop the corresponding metrics to measure business and customer impact.
• Ideate, develop and prototype machine learning models and algorithms that intelligently serves personalized experiences to a customer in any of the given areas e.g. in-app recommendations, marketing promotions and onboarding funnels.
• Own and perform the end to end activities of the machine learning development lifecycle, including data wrangling, feature engineering, training, validation and model tuning, with appropriate documentation of the methodology.
• Collaborate with product engineering teams to deploy the models into production and ensure they scale well with high volumes of data.
• Design, run and analyze statistically robust experiments e.g. A/B and multivariate tests to measure impact of product changes to KPI improvement.
• Continually monitor the efficacy of model performance and iteratively improve them as the business and customers behavior change over time.
• Perform exploratory analysis using a variety of customer data sources to extract customer behavioral patterns and identify opportunities for growth and new data products.
• Apply robust and maintainable coding standards along with to ensure high quality outputs to model consumers.
• Efficiently manage his/her own project queue and communicate ongoing or planned data science products to non-technical stakeholders and senior leadership from time to time.
• Contribute to the data team knowledge base and overall team growth through mentoring of junior members of the data team and knowledge sharing.
