About the role:

We're looking for a curious, hands-on, and impact-oriented
Data Scientist
to join our team. You'll work across a wide range of structured and unstructured data to support decision-making, build models, and explore how generative AI can enhance our products and workflows.

You don't need decades of experience — we value initiative, strong fundamentals, and a desire to learn over perfect resumes. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to shape meaningful applications in AI, analytics, and real-world business challenges.

Requirements

What you'll do:

• Work with cross-functional teams to understand business problems and translate them into data science tasks.
• Analyze structured and unstructured data (e.g., text, course interactions, HRIS data, survey responses, logs) to surface insights and patterns.
• Build predictive and descriptive models using machine learning and statistical techniques.
• Experiment with generative AI (LLMs, embeddings, prompt engineering, fine-tuning) to explore new capabilities.
• Collaborate with data engineers, product managers, and designers to turn models into production-ready features.
• Communicate findings through visualizations, dashboards, and clear storytelling

What we're looking for:

• Core Skills

• Ability to take initiative in identifying new opportunities where data science or AI can drive value — even in loosely defined or ambiguous problem spaces.

• Solid grasp of data wrangling, EDA, and basic statistical modeling.
• Comfort working with SQL and exploring data in relational databases.
• Experience working with Python and common libraries (pandas, numpy, etc.).
• Familiarity with a subset of standard modeling techniques such as:
• Logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting (e.g., XGBoost, LightGBM)
• Clustering (K-Means, DBSCAN)
• Text vectorization (TF-IDF, word embeddings, sentence transformers)
• Dimensionality reduction (PCA, t-SNE, UMAP)

·

• Generative AI & ML

• Familiarity with large language models (e.g., OpenAI, Hugging Face, etc.).

• Experience using embeddings, vector databases, or prompt-based pipelines.

• Interest or experience in fine-tuning or evaluating generative models.

• Mindset & Collaboration

• Eagerness to learn and apply new tools, techniques, and frameworks.

• Ability to work independently and push through ambiguity.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative spirit.

• Comfortable receiving feedback, iterating fast, and delivering value.

• Nice-to-Have Extras

• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Plotly, Dash, Tableau, Streamlit).

• Exposure to model monitoring, ML Ops, or data pipelines.
• Interest in ethics, compliance, education, or B2B SaaS domains.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP.

Benefits

• Excellent medical benefits, including family plan
• Paid Time Off (PTO) plus India public holidays
• Competitive salary
• Combined Onsite and Remote Work
