About the Role:

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer with strong statistical foundations and hands-on modeling experience to join the team. You will assist in building, maintaining, and improving predictive models across a range of business domains — customer retention, network performance, marketing, sales, and others as needs evolve. You will develop features from complex multi-source data and help maintain inherited models built by external partners. You will contribute to all phases of the modeling lifecycle, from data exploration through model delivery, under the direction of the team manager. This position will report directly to the team manager and work alongside data engineers and solutions architects. ***It can be filled remotely anywhere within the country.***

What You Will Do:

Build and evaluate predictive models (logistic regression, XGBoost, ensemble methods) across customer retention, network, marketing, sales, and other business domains
Engineer features from complex, multi-source enterprise data (billing systems, call center logs, CRM, network data) in Snowflake and Oracle
Profile and investigate data quality issues — identify leakage, missingness patterns, join inconsistencies, and source-of-truth conflicts
Maintain and improve inherited production models, including models built in Snowpark by external partners
Perform SHAP-based model interpretability analysis and translate results into business-actionable insights
Design and execute customer segmentation using clustering techniques on model outputs
Write clear, thorough documentation of model logic, feature rationale, data assumptions, and known limitations
Collaborate with the team to define target variables, population filters, and prediction windows grounded in statistical reasoning

Do You Have?

2–3 years of experience in a data science or applied statistics role (less experience considered for strong candidates)
Strong foundation in statistics: hypothesis testing, regression, classification, probability, bias-variance tradeoffs
Proficiency in Python for data science (Pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy, Matplotlib/Seaborn)
Strong SQL skills, particularly with Snowflake or similar cloud data warehouses
Experience with feature engineering from real-world, imperfect enterprise data — not just clean Kaggle datasets
Ability to work independently and manage your own priorities with minimal oversight
Clear written and verbal communication — you can explain a modeling decision to a non-technical stakeholder and document your work so others can follow it

Even Better:

Experience with Snowpark (Python or SQL)
Exposure to Azure ML or similar cloud ML platforms
Familiarity with MLOps concepts (model versioning, pipeline automation, drift monitoring)
Telecom or subscription-based industry experience
Experience inheriting and maintaining models built by others00Familiarity with Git-based workflows and version control for data science artifacts

The compensation range for this position is from $90,400 - $123,400.
