Responsibilities: 

• Analyse complex datasets to identify patterns, issues, and opportunities.
• Formulate and validate hypotheses through structured analysis and experimentation.
• Build and improve machine learning and anomaly detection solutions.
• Design end-to-end solutions considering data, modelling, engineering, and production constraints.
• Perform root cause analysis across models, data, and systems.
• Work with engineering teams on feature pipelines, model inference, and production deployment.
• Lead technical discussions with clients and communicate recommendations, trade-offs, and expected impact.
• Guide team members on analysis, modelling, and solution design.
• Proactively identify initiatives and roadmap items that can add value to the project.

Requirements: 

• Strong foundation in statistics and machine learning.
• Strong hands-on experience with Python and SQL.
• Hands-on experience with Python ML and data frameworks such as Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/Keras, Dask, Matplotlib, Boto3 SageMaker Python SDK, and Horovod.
• Strong data analysis, hypothesis-generation, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with standard supervised and unsupervised ML techniques.
• Experience with anomaly detection techniques such as Isolation Forest and Autoencoders.
• Experience building and deploying production ML solutions.
• Working knowledge of data engineering and real-time / batch inference environments.
