• Leverage LLMs for Analytical Solutions – Use prompt engineering techniques to create AI-driven approaches for taxonomy validation, data enrichment, and classification.

• Evaluate & Improve AI/ML Models – Develop detailed evaluation frameworks for product knowledge models, embeddings, and semantic search solutions.

• Drive Insights & Strategy – Use data-driven storytelling to influence product and AI teams, helping shape decisions on catalog optimization, entity resolution, and knowledge graph development.

• Integrate with AI/ML Teams – Work closely with data scientists and engineers to test and refine AI-based classification, search ranking, and recommendation models.

• Prototype and Experiment – Move fast, test hypotheses, and build quick experiments to validate structured data strategies and AI-driven discovery improvements.

 What We’re Looking For

• 8 Years experience in analytics, data science role with 2 years of managerial experience.

• Product Analytics Attitude – Familiarity with eCommerce search, recommendations, and knowledge graph applications

• Strong Communication – Ability to turn sophisticated findings into actionable recommendations for Product, AI, and Engineering teams.

• AI/LLM Experience – Hands-on experience with LLMs, timely engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for AI-powered insights (Preferred)

• Model Evaluation Know-How – Ability to define metrics and evaluation frameworks for assessing ML-driven taxonomy and classification models..

• Startup DNA – High agency, thrive in fast-paced, iterative environments with deep cross-functional collaboration.

Why Join Us?

• Build the AI-powered future of eCommerce product discovery.

• Move fast & own impactful projects in a startup-like, high-agency culture.

• Work directly with AI, Data Science, and Product teams to craft taxonomy & ontology strategies.
