Required Qualifications


* Strong background in data science and machine learning


* Hands-on experience with deep learning, classification, and regression modeling


* Advanced Python development experience for data science and ML applications


* Experience analyzing customer behavior, churn, pricing, or sales performance data


* Proven ability to independently locate, assess, and prepare complex datasets
