Your role in the team
- You develop data-driven solutions for our clients with measurable business impact. From hypothesis generation through EDA and modeling to operational deployment, you are responsible for the core data science activities with an AI focus (including GenAI/LLM where it adds value). You lead projects, manage stakeholders, and work closely with software engineers to bring models into products and processes in a stable, secure, and user-centric manner.

- AI modeling and GenAI applications: Developing practical ML models (e.g., Propensity, Churn, Forecasting, Recommender) with clean feature engineering. Deploy GenAI/LLM where appropriate: knowledge access, text summarization, response assistance, classification/extraction. Evaluation focusing on accuracy, robustness, fairness, as well as cost/latency trade-offs; consider guardrails and hallucination controls.
- Experiment Design & Evaluation: Offline/Online Metrics, A/B Testing, Baselines, Power Analyses, and Stopping Criteria; translating results into clear actionable recommendations.
- Visualization & Reporting: Exploration dashboards, decision storylines, model cards; audience-appropriate communication for departments, management, and IT.
- Interface to Software Development: Clean handover packages: APIs, model artifacts, tests, documentation; close coordination for integration into services/platforms. Ensuring quality together: versioning, testability, observability, security standards.
- IT Project Management: End-to-end project responsibility: backlog prioritization, milestones, risks/dependencies, budget, and status reports. Agile Delivery (Scrum/Kanban): planning, reviews, retrospectives; clear, transparent communication.
- Data Engineering & IT System/AI Tool Rollout (collaborative): Define requirements for data sources/pipelines, ensure data quality. Support AI (tool) rollouts: use-case fit, data protection/security, training & enablement, success measurement.
