As a data scientist you will be responsible for ensuring that our current data science pipelines run smoothly over time with the best performance, as well as developing new machine learning pipelines and algorithms by:
- Creating datasets from our huge data lake of products and social media data, selecting the most relevant items for your use case, cleaning the datasets and ensuring the data quality
- Designing machine learning models according to the specifications of the use case and considering the state of the art, performance and KPIs defined by our business teams
- Deploy the models in production, looking for the best performance taking into consideration the huge amount of information processed by our systems daily
Your Skills
In order to be successful, you will need to bring your skills and knowledge around these technologies:
- 3+ years of experience as a production level Python developer, as it is the base of our tech stack at many levels.
- Deep learning frameworks: Keras or Pytorch
- Machine learning and Python data libraries like scikit-learn, pandas or numpy
- Experience with SQL databases: preferably PostgreSQL
- Linux shell command line.
- Version Control in a collaborative environment with Git
- Strong communication skills (written and oral) in English and Spanish
Bonus Points
You will learn on the job many of the other tech pieces we use. Of course it will be easier if you are already familiar with any them:
- Django or any other Python ORM
- Image processing libraries like OpenCV or Pillow
- NLP processing libraries such as Spacy or NLTK
- RabbitMQ, Celery
- System monitoring with InfluxDB, Grafana
The Team
The Data Science team is responsible for enriching the data that our crawlers collect massively from fashion related websites. For that, you will have to use our machine learning models. The data pipeline starts with hundreds of spiders (running in python with scrapyd) that continuously crawl websites. It continues with a series of data quality and data enrichment processes (python, celery, rabbitMQ, SQL, Keras, OpenCV) and ends dumping clean, validated and normalized product information for our customers to be consumed.
One of the most important pieces in this pipeline is enriching the data with machine learning models. This adds information such as the categories (clothing, footwear, beauty…), genders, attributes, colors, etc of the fashion items. . The database already contains more than 500 millions of products (growing daily) and we process 1-2M new products every week.
The Company
Our motto is "We love data". And we love technology that deals with data because it enables us to do incredible things... things that are valuable for our customers and that can sustain a business.
