Job Description Function: Data Science and Analysis → Data Science / Machine Learning ML NLP machine learning natural language processing search Requirements: Strong experience in NLP, Recommender Systems, and Machine Learning algorithms (classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection, pattern recognition techniques, deep learning, LLMs/RAG/Agentic AI). Hands-on experience building ML systems for Search & Personalisation use cases (AI-powered product search based on lexical search, semantic search, learning-to-rank algorithms, and recommendation systems). Deeper understanding of Transformer architecture, BERT and other embedding models for information retrieval techniques. Advancements in Large Language Models and Generative Modelling. Experience building deep learning models for next-purchase and next-basket recommendation (e. g., sequential/session-based recommenders based on next-purchase prediction) to personalise what and when customers are likely to buy next. Key Technical Skills: Languages & Frameworks: Python; PyTorch/TensorFlow; NLTK, transformer-based embedding models (BERT and similar). Search & Retrieval: Lexical and semantic search, vector/ANN search, learning-to-rank algorithms and recommendation system design. ML Techniques: Classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection, pattern recognition, deep learning, knowledge graphs, and LLMs/RAG/Agentic AI. Experience designing and building agentic workflows (multi-step reasoning, planning, tool-use, and orchestration) for product search and personalisation use cases. Hands-on experience with memory handling and context management at scale, including short-term/session memory and long-term user memory to support coherent, personalised agentic experiences across sessions. Experience integrating personalisation signals (user preferences, purchase history, intent) into agentic product search pipelines, enabling agents to retrieve, re-rank, and respond with results tailored to the individual user. Familiarity with techniques for managing large-scale context (context window optimisation, retrieval-augmented context injection, state/session management) across multi-turn, multi-agent interactions in production systems. Preferred Skills: Experience designing and deploying ML solutions at large scale (billions of records). Experience leveraging parallel processing techniques (multithreading, multiprocessing, distributed computing) to build high-performance, scalable machine learning pipelines and optimise large-scale data processing workloads. Exposure to OpenSearch, ElasticSearch or Solr will be an added advantage. Familiarity with real-time data streaming technologies such as Kafka, Flink, etc. Understanding of the fundamentals of data governance, fairness, and ethical AI principles. Required Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience. 3-6 years of relevant experience building large-scale ML systems.
