Mondelez - Data Scientist

About the Role:-

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated senior data scientist to support a big data program in North America. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in supporting multiple projects in this program covering traditional tasks from revenue management, demand forecasting, improving customer experience to testing/using new tools/platforms such as Copilot Fabric for different purpose.

The expected candidate would have deep expertise in machine learning methodology and applications. And he/she should have completed multiple large scale data science projects (full cycle from ideation to BAU). Beyond technical expertise, problem solving in complex set-up will be key to the success for this role. This is a data science role directly embedded into the program/projects, stake holder management and collaborations with patterner are crucial to the success on this role (on top of the deep expertise).

What we are looking for:

- Highly efficient in Python/Pyspark/R.

- Understand MLOps concepts and have experiences in product industrialization (from data science point of view). Experience in building product for live deployment, CI/CD.

- Proficient with cloud platforms like Azure, GCP, including their data management systems. Experienced in using Databricks for product deployment.

- Experience in ML projects involving techniques: Regression, Time Series, Clustering, Classification, Dimension Reduction, Anomaly detection with traditional ML approaches and DL approaches.

- Solid background in statistics, probability distributions, A/B testing validation, univariate/multivariate analysis, hypothesis test for different purpose, data augmentation etc.

- Clear algorithmic thinking, display clear logic in problem solving.
