Staff Data Scientist

B.Tech

Responsibilities

• Multi-Domain Technical Strategy: Lead the development of ML solutions across diverse contexts, ensuring that models for Credit Risk, Pricing Elasticity, and Collection Optimization utilize shared infrastructure efficiently.
• MLOps Architecture: Champion the adoption of modern Model Serving frameworks and Feature Stores. Design workflows that ensure feature consistency between training and real-time inference.
• Engineering Standards: Establish rigorous standards for Data Versioning, experiment tracking, and Hyperparameter Optimization, ensuring all research is reproducible and production-ready.
• Production Deployment: Oversee the transition of models from notebook environments to low-latency production APIs. Ensure models are wrapped, containerized, and integrated seamlessly with backend services.
• Mentorship: Guide the team in best practices for Python software engineering, including testing strategies, code structure, and performance optimization.

Experience: 7+ years in Data Science with a strong emphasis on production engineering. Experience in Fintech, Lending, or Risk is highly preferred.

ML Proficiency: Deep understanding of both classical machine learning (Gradient Boosting, Statistical Models) and Deep Learning frameworks.

Production Engineering: Proven track record of deploying models in real-time environments. Familiarity with the concepts of Feature Stores and Model Registries is essential.

Technical Stack: Expert-level Python skills. Strong proficiency in SQL and relational database design.

Strategic Thinking: Ability to translate complex business KPIs (e.g., reducing Non-Performing Loans) into technical ML roadmaps.
