Job Description

About the Role:
We are seeking a highly analytical and research-oriented Machine Learning Scientist with deep expertise in Bayesian inference to join our cutting-edge ML research and product development team. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and applying advanced probabilistic models to solve complex, high-uncertainty problems in forecasting, personalization, experimentation, and decision-making.

You will work alongside a world-class team of engineers, scientists, and product leaders to drive innovation in applied Bayesian machine learning and help shape intelligent systems at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement Bayesian models for uncertainty estimation, time-series forecasting, recommender systems, causal inference, or reinforcement learning
  • Develop scalable inference algorithms using techniques such as MCMC, variational inference, and Bayesian deep learning
  • Conduct rigorous experiments and model validation, and analyze results using principled probabilistic approaches
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product managers, data engineers, and ML researchers to translate business challenges into modeling problems
  • Publish high-quality internal documentation and optionally contribute to peer-reviewed research
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest academic literature and emerging tools in Bayesian statistics and probabilistic programming

Required Qualifications:

  • Master’s or PhD in Machine Learning, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with Bayesian modeling or probabilistic machine learning
  • Strong programming skills in Python, including libraries such as NumPy, PyMC, TensorFlow Probability, Stan, Edward, or similar
  • Solid understanding of Bayesian theory: prior/posterior estimation, conjugate priors, hierarchical models, etc.
  • Proficiency with statistical inference, experimental design, and evaluation metrics
  • Ability to communicate complex probabilistic concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience applying Bayesian methods in real-world settings such as demand forecasting, A/B testing, marketing attribution, or scientific computing
  • Familiarity with big data environments and ML pipelines (e.g., Apache Spark, Airflow, MLflow)
  • Contributions to research in Bayesian inference, including publications or conference papers
  • Exposure to hybrid models combining neural networks with Bayesian inference (e.g., Bayesian neural nets, Gaussian processes)

What We Offer:

  • The opportunity to work on state-of-the-art probabilistic ML systems with high-impact business applications
  • A collaborative environment with deep technical mentorship and peer learning
  • Competitive compensation package including stock options and performance bonuses
  • Flexible work arrangements and access to cutting-edge tools and cloud resources
  • A culture of continuous learning, scientific rigor, and open innovation
