Salary: Up to 180k base + equity


Responsibilities

  • Build and scale ML models and optimization routines (demand forecasting, price elasticity, trade promotion optimization).
  • Build statistical frameworks measuring incremental lift of business actions, isolating real revenue drivers from noise.
  • Partner with engineering to structure noisy retail/billing data into clean, analysis-ready datasets.
  • Design rigorous A/B and multivariate tests for new decision workflows and features.

  • Strong Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) and SQL
  • Deep knowledge of time-series forecasting, regression, and ML methods
  • Experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, or similar)
  • Dashboard/visualization skills (Tableau, PowerBI, Streamlit)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset; comfortable shipping MVPs and iterating quickly


Preferred (not a must):

  • CPG, e-commerce, or retail supply chain experience
  • Bonus: potential to grow into a Head of Product or CPO role
