• Drive experimentation (e.g., A/B testing) to measure the impact of model deployment and marketing strategies.

Data Engineering & MLOps

• Architect data pipelines for the collection, cleaning, and preprocessing of complex, high-volume datasets from disparate sources.

• Oversee the deployment lifecycle, ensuring models are successfully integrated into production environments and monitored for performance drift.

• Maintain engineering excellence by documenting code, methodologies, and results clearly, ensuring reproducibility and scalability.

Communication & Business Impact

• Transform complex data into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders using data visualizations, dashboards, and executive reports.

• Drive product innovation by contributing directly to the development of data-driven features and marketing optimization tools.

• Act as a bridge between technical and non-technical teams, ensuring data solutions align directly with marketing and organic growth KPIs.

Candidate Requirements
