Machine Learning Engineer
US Remote

We are  the recognized leader in AI-powered pricing and promotions. Global brands and retailers rely on the platform to optimize pricing in response to market conditions and to deliver higher ROI on promotional spend. Our Retail Pricing Suite and Offer Innovation Suite solutions are driving strong margin and sales volume improvements for leading companies such as Coca-Cola, Frito-Lay, Raley’s, and Walgreens. Founded in 2013,  we are headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Reporting directly to the CTO, you will be at the center of what determines our success as a company. You will analyze the data and develop production code using the newest Data Science and Machine Learning techniques to determine the optimal prices and promotions for major product manufacturers and retailers that sell these products.

Who You Are

• You are an analytical, framework thinker
• You are comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• You are highly collaborative
• You are very strong technically, with a good ability to translate a business problem into a technical one
• You are business focused; measures work in its contributions to business outcomes and prioritizes effort against deliverables accordingly

Your Qualifications

• You have 2+ years of experience in Data Science or Machine Learning
• You have an BS., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, Economics, Operations Research, or relevant quantitative field
• You have excellent coding ability. Able to write optimized Python code (vectorization, lazy evaluation, etc.)
• You are experienced with NumPy and Pandas
• You have experience in test-driven development strongly preferred
• You are strong in math (Linear Algebra, Calculus, etc.) and numerical problem solving (e.g. optimization)
• You are experienced with Generalized Linear Models
• Experienced in A/B testing and Design of Experiments preferred
• Agile experience preferred
• Familiarity with standard econometric methods is a big plus
• Demand Modeling, Forecasting, Pricing, and Causal Inference experience a plus
• Strong in statistics relevant to Machine Learning preferred (hypothesis testing, Bayesian methods, regressions, maximum likelihood estimation, etc.)
• Nice to have: Neural Networks (Deep Learning, Embeddings, Sequence Modeling, CNN), Tree-based methods (GBDT, Random Forest), Regularization Methods (L1/L2 penalties, Feature Selection, Dimensionality Reduction)

What You’ll Do

• You will generate ideas and quickly turn them into efficient, well-tested, functioning code in our Python codebase
• You will partner with the Engineering team to create highly scalable solutions
• You will research, implement and modify modern Data Science techniques. More specifically:
  • Build Statistical and Machine Learning models that describe the impact of prices and promotions on shopper behavior, including behavioral pricing effects. You’ll need to find middle ground between using flexible modern AI methods and proven classical methods.
  • Develop Optimization and Experiment Design systems, which determine the best prices to set for each product in each store each week. Finding a good balance on the exploration-exploitation tradeoff will be important
  • Design and run pricing experiments across hundreds of stores and tens of thousands of products
  • Create model validation methods to make sure that our models are accurate and to quantify the impact of our solutions on the clients’ bottom line
• You will collaborate with the team to prioritize new feature development by assessing potential impact

What’s in it for You

• You will experience the excitement of working at and growing with an expanding venture-backed SaaS startup where you can make a huge difference
• You will be part of an exceptionally talented team that retains a significant focus on personal and professional development
