Data Scientist (Food)

Get to know the role:

• Build, validate, test, and deploy machine learning/ deep learning models for behaviour, recommendation or demand modelling

• Develop and implement optimization algorithms to solve vehicle dispatch, routing and pooling problems

• Drive product improvements and roll-out of new features

The day-to-day activities:

• Deep dive into big data to conduct advanced statistical analyses

• Design and build machine learning and optimisation algorithms efficiently

• Integrate, simulate and test the impact of algorithms and features on the overall system

• Develop and execute necessary analyses, simulations or A/B tests to validate models and identify improvement opportunities

• Store, retrieve and visualise results in a manner that facilitates required analyses

• Effectively conceptualize analyses to business/product stakeholders

The must haves:

• Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in one or more of the following:

  • Developing machine learning/ deep learning models for behaviour, recommendation or demand modelling

  • Developing optimization algorithms to solve large-scale network flow/ combinatorial/ stochastic problems

  • Deploy and maintain scalable machine learning infrastructure

• Ph.D. or Master’s in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, or related technical disciplines

• Strong fundamentals in at least two of the following: Machine Learning, Recommender Systems, Natural Language Processing, Optimisation or Architecture, with a background in the other areas

• Proficient in one or more of the following programming languages: Python, R, Scala, C++, Java; knowledge of GoLang would be an advantage

• Experience with machine learning framework (scikit-learn, Spark MLlib etc)

• Self-motivated and independent learner who is willing to share knowledge with the team

• Efficient and detail oriented time manager who thrives in a dynamic and fast-paced working environment

Really good to have:

• Experience in working with food delivery data and use cases

• Experience in parallel programming and multithreading

• Experience in large scale routing algorithms
