Qualifications

About you: 

You are familiar with lifetime value (LTV) modelling and econometrics/marketing mix modelling

You have experience with Bayesian approaches to machine learning, as well as with using neural networks, ideally PyTorch

You have a good understanding of statistics, in particular Bayesian reasoning, and can estimate how accurate your results are, but also know when to stop analysing and deliver results

You have a good understanding of causal inference concepts and have some experience with machine learning models for causal inference.

You are familiar with a range of model types, and know when and why to use gradient boosting, neural networks, good old linear regression, or a blend of these

You have expert knowledge of Python, and are able to make and justify design decisions in your Python code; you can throw together a REST service or a UI if need be. You’ve used external data pulled via APIs before

You are able to take ownership of a project and see it through from end to end, with past experience in doing so

You are data-driven with a structural and pedantic approach. You need to be able to prioritise the value you can add, and manage your time effectively.

You see a bigger picture of business processes and can cut through vagueness to define precisely where and how a model would fit into our stack and what value it would add.

You are comfortable with visualising and communicating data to various audiences, you easily articulate and present your ideas.
