This role is the technical engine of our AI transformation. You will be responsible for bringing our most impactful AI models out of the lab and scaling them into reliable high-performance production systems.

Mission

Reporting to the VP Data Solutions & Innovation within the Business Intelligence organization you will lead the technical effort in exploring validating and accelerating the next generation of AI use cases. Your mission is focused on rapid scientific discovery and robust engineering: you will design and execute advanced modeling experiments to unlock new business value and you will ensure that the most successful prototypes are engineered into scalable high-performance production systems.

You will operate with an innovators mindset tackling complex unstructured music and market data using techniques such as Deep Learning and Generative AI. Your core objective is to maximize the rate of successful innovation and reliably deploy verified solutions ensuring our entire BI ecosystem is propelled toward predictive and augmented intelligence.

Key responsibilities

• Rapid Modeling & Experimentation: Design develop and benchmark state-of-the-art machine learning models (forecasting segmentation recommendation NLP etc.) with a strong emphasis on quick iteration and scientific validation of new concepts.

• Generative AI & Exploration: Lead hands-on technical exploration into advanced techniques including LLMs RAG architectures and Generative AI applications to create new forms of automated analysis and augmented intelligence products.

• Production Engineering & MLOps: Translate validated prototypes into robust production-ready specifications and lead the implementation of MLOps best practices (CI/CD monitoring serving) required for the reliable deployment of models.

• Complex Data & Feature Engineering: Deeply explore complex multi-modal data (e.g. high-dimensional data text time series) defining the necessary features and data pipelines to support highly accurate experimental models for strategic analysis.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Product Manager Data Scientists and business stakeholders to ensure technical solutions maximize tangible business impact and adhere to ethical AI standards.

• Technology Scouting: Drive innovation through hands-on exploration of new AI technologies including LLMs GenAI and vector databases and evaluate their practical application to our music and operational data.

• Knowledge Transfer: Contribute to AI adoption and technical literacy across the company through clear documentation workshops and knowledge sharing with both technical and non-technical teams.

Skills & Experience

• Education: Bachelors degree required in Applied Mathematics Computer Science Software Engineering or a highly technical quantitative discipline. A Masters degree (MS) or higher is strongly preferred.

• Experience: 2 years of professional experience as a Machine Learning Engineer Applied ML Scientist or similar role with a clear focus on productionizing models and advanced AI techniques.

• Technical Depth: Strong expertise in Python development and established skills in deploying and managing the full lifecycle of complex ML/DL models. Experience with advanced analysis of unstructured or multi-modal data (e.g. high-dimensional feature vectors dense embeddings) is highly valued.

• MLOps Mindset: Proven track record of transforming R&D proofs-of-concept into robust scalable and monitored production-grade ML solutions.

• Engineering Rigor: A background in software engineering best practices (clean code testing Git) is essential.

• Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex concepts and model limitations clearly and effectively to product and non-technical stakeholders.

• Domain Affinity: High curiosity and enthusiasm for music entertainment or culture is a strong plus.
