• Implement deep learning techniques, including neural networks and natural language processing (NLP) for advanced content analysis and user behavior prediction. 

 

Model Deployment & Optimization: 

• Deploy machine learning models into production environments, working closely with DevOps or engineering teams to ensure seamless integration into operational workflows. 

• Continuously monitor model performance and refine models based on feedback and evolving data. 

• Optimize models for efficiency, scalability, and accuracy, using advanced techniques like hyperparameter tuning, cross-validation, and model assembling. 

 

Data Pipeline Development: 

• Collaborate with data engineers to build and maintain efficient data pipelines for preprocessing large-scale datasets. 

• Automate data collection, cleaning, and feature engineering processes to ensure timely and accurate data for model building. 

 

Qualifications & Experiences: 

• Bachelor’s degree, MS, or greater in Computer/Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or related quantitative discipline. 

• 5+ years relevant experience in Data Science. 

• Expertise in a variety of machine learning techniques (clustering, decision tree learning, artificial neural networks, random forests, deep learning etc.) and experience with applications of these techniques. 

• Expertise in SQL and either Python or R, including experience with application deployment packages like R, Streamlit or Shiny. 

• Experience with database technologies such as Databricks, Snowflake, and others. 

• Familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, Looker, Tableau) and experience managing workflows in an Agile environment. 

• Proficiency in big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Hive). 

• Experience working in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP) to facilitate data solutions. 

*Atlanta based candidates are strongly preferred as relocation assistance is not approved for this position.
