We’re building the future of eCommerce product discovery, and we need a data-driven, AI-curious problem solver to join our team.

This is an exciting, hands-on role at the intersection of data analytics, AI/ML experimentation, and prompt engineering—ideal for an early-career professional who loves writing SQL queries, building Python scripts, and experimenting with LLMs to solve real-world problems. You’ll be embedded in the Product Knowledge org, helping us clean, structure, and optimize taxonomy, ontology, and catalog data for next-gen search and recommendation engines.

If you are eager to learn, thrive in fast-moving environments, and want to work directly with AI/ML, Product, and Engineering teams, this is the perfect place to accelerate your career.

What You’ll Do

  • Analyse eCommerce Product Data:

Run SQL queries and Python scripts to analyze taxonomy, ontology, and catalog data, identifying gaps and opportunities for search improvement.

  • Experiment with LLMs:

Assist in building and testing prompt engineering workflows to automate data enrichment, product classification, and taxonomy validation.

  • Support Model Evaluation:

Help test and evaluate the performance of product knowledge models, semantic search solutions, and embeddings against defined metrics.

  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally:

Work closely with data scientists, product managers, and engineers to execute data strategies and refine AI-based classification models.

  • Build Quick Prototypes:

Move fast to test data hypotheses, run experiments, and help validate new structured data ideas for better product discovery.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience:

2 to 7 years of hands-on experience in a data analytics, product analytics, data science role.

  • Core Technical Skills:

Solid proficiency in SQL and Python for data extraction, manipulation, and analysis.

  • Eagerness to Learn:

Strong interest in eCommerce search, recommendations, or knowledge graphs (prior exposure is a big plus).

  • AI/LLM Curiosity:

Hands-on familiarity or side-project experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, or RAG concepts.

  • Analytical Mindset:

Ability to look at data, spot patterns, and clearly communicate findings to immediate team members.

  • Growth Mindset:

High energy, adaptability, and the ability to thrive and pick up new skills quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Why Join Us?

  • Kickstart Your AI Career:

Get hands-on, real-world experience with AI/ML and LLMs in a high-scale environment.

  • Learn from the Best:

Work directly alongside senior AI, Data Science, and Product teams.

  • Fast-Track Growth:

Build foundational skills rapidly in a supportive, high-velocity, startup-like culture.

  • Make a Visible Impact:

See your data analysis directly improve how millions of users discover products.
