YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and implement machine learning and AI solutions for catalog quality, including product categorization, qualification, attribute extraction, product matching, and enrichment.

• Build and maintain scalable pipelines for product classification, entity matching, semantic similarity, and attribute extraction across a large and continuously evolving product catalog.

• Develop, adapt, and evaluate machine learning models, including LLMs and vision-language models, for domain-specific catalog tasks such as categorization, attribute extraction, product matching, and content enrichment.

• Design pragmatic human-in-the-loop and automated workflows that combine machine learning, AI models, rules, and internal data sources to improve catalog quality.

• Write production-ready code and deploy AI systems in a live environment at scale.

• Define and track evaluation metrics for catalog quality and model performance; create reliable offline benchmarks, run experiments, and communicate results clearly to guide technical and product decisions.

• Partner with software engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders to frame problems from both a scientific and business perspective.

• Investigate and fix production issues; ensure reliability, observability, and performance of AI systems.

• Stay actively engaged in technology watch on the latest developments in machine learning, Generative AI, information extraction, entity resolution, and scalable ML systems.
