Centric Pricing™ (formerly StyleSage), is an AI driven competitive assortment benchmarking and market trend insights solution for fashion, beauty and home goods brands and retailers.
We are a key innovation partner for iconic and emerging brands across the world.
Our Platform is able to analyze the info of more than 1.000 retailers, processing data from more than 600.000 brands, tracking millions of products!
The Data Science team is responsible for enriching the data that our crawlers collect massively from fashion related websites with our own machine learning models. Our models add information to the existing products such as the categories (clothing, footwear, beauty…), genders, attributes, colors, bounding boxes, etc. The database already contains more than 500 millions of products (growing daily) and we process 1-2M new products every week.
To do that, you will use the latest and best open-source technologies out there. We code in Python (and we love it, you may want to come to the PyCon Spain conference with us!), using Keras as our main Deep Learning framework (although we are starting using Pytorch for certain projects) along with the other machine learning and computer vision libraries like scikit-learn or OpenCV.
In the engineering side, we use Django as our main framework for accessing the data. We are a cloud-native company, so our code runs in AWS. Our massive amount of data lives in PostgreSQL databases and we keep an eye on all this using observability tools like Grafana, Influxdb and Telegraf.
If you do not know a lot about some of those technologies, worry not, our engineers will be happy to support you while you are on your journey to becoming an expert in them.
Your Job
As a data scientist you will be responsible of 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:
