[8BE] Data Scientist (AI + ML)

We are seeking a Data Scientist with deep expertise in probabilistic AI and statistical machine learning to support a client's e-commerce platform, built on a distributed microservices architecture. The platform roadmap includes a set of intelligence capabilities that require rigorous statistical modeling rather than standard supervised ML. This role is responsible for designing, validating, and productionizing probabilistic models, and for working closely with backend engineering to translate those models into service-oriented production architecture within the platform's existing microservices ecosystem. What you will do Bayesian modeling and inference: Design and implement Bayesian statistical models — priors, likelihoods, and posterior inference — to support decisioning under uncertainty across pricing, segmentation, and demand-related use cases. Markov chains and Hidden Markov Models: Build Markov chain and Hidden Markov Model formulations for sequential and behavioral patterns (e.g., customer lifecycle stages, state transitions), producing outputs that downstream services can consume. MCMC and Metropolis-Hastings sampling: Apply Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, including Metropolis-Hastings sampling, to estimate posterior distributions for models without closed-form solutions, and validate convergence and sampling quality. Mixture modeling: Develop mixture models — Gaussian Mixture Models in particular — to support segmentation use cases, identifying latent customer or
