Description
Summary:
As a Data Scientist, you will design and deploy machine learning models that power real-time personalization, owning ML projects end-to-end.
Highlights:
1. Design and deploy ML models for ranking, recommendation, and personalization.
2. Own project workstreams from data preparation through production deployment.
3. Collaborate with Applied Scientists on new algorithm integration.
**Location**
Remote in Europe.
**Albatross**
At Albatross, we’re building the second pillar of AI: a perception layer that understands how users actually experience content, in real time. Trained on live user interactions, Albatross learns and reasons on the fly. Our technology powers real\-time, in\-session discovery by adapting to evolving user interests, in real\-time. We have raised significant funding and our platform already operates at scale, with billions of events being processed and hundreds of millions of predictions served.
**The Role**
As a Data Scientist, you will design and deploy machine learning models that power real\-time personalization for our customers. You will own defined workstreams of ML projects end\-to\-end, and you will work closely with Applied Scientists and Engineers to translate product and customer needs into scalable ML solutions. More specifically, you will:
* Design and implement machine learning models for ranking, recommendation, and personalization.
* Define feature engineering pipelines and modeling strategies for customer use cases.
* Train, evaluate, and deploy models using our internal ML tooling and infrastructure.
* Own project workstreams from data preparation through production deployment.
* Collaborate with Applied Scientists to integrate new algorithms into production systems.
* Contribute improvements to internal ML tooling and experimentation infrastructure.
* Monitor model performance and iterate based on real\-world feedback.
**Requirements**
* Bachelor's degree in Machine Learning or STEM.
* Strong background in machine learning, statistics, or data science.
* Solid programming skills in Python.
* Experience training and deploying ML models in production environments.
* Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
* Experience working with large\-scale datasets and feature engineering pipelines.
* Ability to work independently on moderately complex ML problems.
* Strong communication skills in English.
**Nice to Have**
* Experience with recommender systems, ranking models, or search.
* Experience with large\-scale experimentation and evaluation pipelines.
* Familiarity with learning\-to\-rank models, bandits, or reinforcement learning.
* Experience working with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
**Benefits**
* Flexibility to work from anywhere across Europe.
* Budget for learning and training, attend events and conferences.
