• Build Predictive Models: Develop and productionalize ML models for high-impact marketing use cases: LTV (Lifetime Value) prediction, churn propensity, and "Next Best Action" engines.
• MLOps & Integration: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of models, from feature engineering in SQL/Python to deployment via APIs and monitoring for data drift in production.
• Privacy & Ethics: Ensure all AI implementations comply with global privacy standards (GDPR, CCPA) and implement "Privacy-First" AI features like differential privacy or synthetic data generation.
• Governance: Implement robust Responsible AI frameworks to ensure that the speed of automation does not compromise the trust of the customer

About You:

• Languages & Frameworks: Expert proficiency in Python. Deep experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow, and LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex).

• Deployment: Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud AI services (AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, or Azure AI Studio).
• Domain Expertise: Previous experience in a high-growth B2C marketing environment.
• Experimentation Mindset: Strong understanding of Bayesian A/B testing and causal inference to measure the true uplift of AI interventions.
• Strategic Thinking: Ability to translate vague marketing goals ("we want to increase engagement") into specific technical requirements and model objectives.
• Customer TouchPoints: Experience developing applications or integrations with Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android ecosystems.
