You will sit at the intersection of ML Engineering, Retail Strategy, and Data Science. Your work will power the "brain" of our platform, transforming raw sales data and competitive signals into actionable pricing strategies and clear insights for merchants and buyers.

What you’ll do:

• Design and deploy models specifically for retail challenges, such as demand forecasting, price elasticity at the SKU level, seasonality detection, and markdown optimization.
• Evolve our Python-based optimization engine to handle complex retail constraints (e.g., maintaining brand standards, psychological price points, and inventory sell-through targets).
• Engineer systems that explain the "why" behind a price change. You will translate model outputs into merchant-friendly insights (e.g., "We recommend a markdown here because competitor X dropped price and inventory depth is high").
• Develop logic to optimize products across their entire lifecycle—from initial price setting to promotional strategies and final clearance.
• Build robust data pipelines to ingest and process diverse retail datasets, including POS transactions, competitor scraping, and inventory feeds.
• Work closely with product managers to understand the needs of category managers and pricing analysts, ensuring our algorithms solve real-world merchandising pain points.

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of experience building production ML systems using Python, Scikit-learn, or PyTorch, with a focus on regression and time-series forecasting.
• A strong understanding of (or deep interest in) retail mechanics—how inventory turns, gross margin, and sell-through rates drive business success.
• Familiarity with mathematical optimization techniques and how to apply them to business constraints (e.g., linear programming, constraint satisfaction).
• Expert SQL skills and ability to model complex data relationships (e.g., parent-child product hierarchies, store clusters).
• The ability to look at an optimization result and explain the business logic behind it. You can debug not just code, but the retail logic.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or a related technical field.

Nice to have:

• Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Statistics.
• Experience in Retail Analytics, E-commerce, Supply Chain, or Revenue Management.
• Familiarity with "Explainable AI" (XAI) tools to make black-box models transparent to business users.
• Experience handling sparse data or cold-start problems (e.g., pricing new products with no history).

As the Data Analyst, Strategic Insights & Visualization you will play a dual role within our data organization: you will be the primary storyteller for our business performance, but you will also be a hands-on technical practitioner responsible for the integrity of our reporting suite. You won’t just build dashboards; you will define the metrics that drive our strategy. Whether it’s untangling a complex business logic request, auditing data quality in our Power BI apps, or partnering with business leaders to prioritize their roadmaps, you will lead with data. If you are a proactive problem-solver who loves to turn raw numbers into actionable business narratives, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities

Technical Execution

• Reporting & Visualization: Act as the primary resource for building and maintaining Power BI reports and dashboards. Personally manage the end-to-end deployment of Power BI Apps, ensuring high performance and intuitive user experiences.
• Metric Logic: Write and optimize the SQL and DAX required for complex business logic. Work with the data engineering team to pull the necessary data across source systems. Take ownership of metric definitions to ensure consistency across all departments, from ERP inventory tracking to Ecommerce sales performance.
• Support & Triage: Manage the support queue for reporting incidents. Investigate data discrepancies, perform root cause analysis on quality issues, and ensure that our "source of truth" remains accurate and trusted by the organization.

Leadership & Operations

• Data Governance: Lead the development and maintenance of the enterprise data dictionary and business glossary. Ensure that all technical terms are translated into clear business language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Quality Control: Define and implement data quality rules and readiness scoring. Monitor data freshness and completeness, proactively alerting the engineering team when pipelines impact reporting SLAs.
• Security & Access: Help define access control and data security within the reporting environment, ensuring that users have the appropriate permissions and that sensitive data is protected according to company standards.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Business Liaison: Act as the primary bridge between the data team and business leaders. Translate vague requests ("we need better inventory insights") into clear technical requirements and prioritized project milestones.
• Domain Prioritization: Participate in quarterly planning to sequence requests for Ecommerce, ERP, and Operations. Collaborate with the AI/ML team to prioritize use cases and define KPIs for advanced analytics initiatives.
• Self-Service Enablement: Conduct work sessions with business users to promote BI tool adoption and empower departments to perform their own ad-hoc analysis.
