Innovation is at the core of this position, where staying abreast of evolving technologies and frameworks is crucial to optimize product performance and elevate user experiences.

a Snapshot Of Your Responsibilities

Creating delightful consumer experiences through AI/ML: Your models, ideas and creating problem solving should ensure that our users are always being engaged with the content that best suits them

Leading the way: You’ll be leading other, more junior data professionals and helping them to understand how best to approach solving the problems that allow us to better engage with our users

Quality and Efficiency: You will be responsible for writing high quality “code” that is both efficient and performant. You should be proud of the performance of your models and algorithms and understand that latency and/or inefficiency in any part of the chain impacts our users

Focusing on what matters: there are many ways to solve a problem, you’ll need to ensure that we are solving those problems in a way that serves our users as well as the bottom line. You should be considering the ROI of the solution to ensure it’s driving the value you expect

Cross-team collaboration: Data science is part of everything we do. You’ll need to be comfortable working with teams from marketing, product, engineering and more to ensure that we are always putting our best foot forward in any consumer touch points

What You Will Need

AI/ML Expertise: Deeply knowledgeable and experienced in playing a leadership role within AI/ML teams to drive positive business outcomes through personalization

The data science world has never seen the kind of rapid change we are currently experiencing. You should be up-to-date with the latest developments, technologies and frameworks and understand what to lean into and what to avoid as it relates to our business

Test Everything and then Test Again: You know that statistics lie, but well-formed tests don’t (usually). You have deep experience a/b/multivariate testing to understand what models, technologies or general approaches are best suited to each problem. You’re not scared of your hypothesis being proven wrong and only want to get to what is the best solution for the current problem at hand

Collaborative Spirit: Ability to work effectively within a team, contributing ideas and solutions while valuing collective success. You understand that not all businesses are the same but you can find ways to extend our personalization frameworks to deliver value across the board

Adaptability: Willingness to adapt to evolving technologies and embrace learning opportunities to drive continuous improvement. You embrace the fast-changing nature of artificial intelligence and machine learning and look forward to adapting and integrating the new possibilities they unlock into our products

FOX Tech is a globally distributed team; You’ll need to be open to attending occasional meetings and/or trouble shooting sessions outside your normal work hours
