Product Data Scientist

PI.EXCHANGE is a well-funded startup focused on the mission of democratising data science and providing AI & analytical services. Our vision is to create a platform where people, even without formal training in data science like IT managers, software engineers or business analysts can easily create, deploy and maintain their AI/ML applications on centralised or edge deployments. We aim to bring to our customers a quick and cost-efficient way to build smart applications and to supercharge their businesses with the power of Data Science, AI, and Analytics. 

At PI.EXCHANGE, we are constantly pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. We are doing it on a daily basis. We may be a small team but we have a huge ambition! Currently we are expanding and looking for awesome people to join us, from data scientists and software engineers to marketers and sales experts to join our team. If you are keen, we love to talk to you!

THE ROLE

PI.EXCHANGE’s flagship product is the AI & Analytics Engine, our no-code / low-code SaaS platform for building Machine Learning applications for tabular data. We are in the process of taking the Engine to the next level by enhancing its capabilities. Our mission is to democratise Machine Learning and AI: Using the Engine, anyone can bring in their tabular datasets and build ML solutions for their use case. Users can build pipelines to prepare datasets, train and evaluate models, benefit from GPU acceleration where appropriate, then use them in production with ML Ops support.

As a Product Data Scientist, you will be strongly aligned with our vision for the AI & Analytics Engine. You will be working collaboratively within the team and across different teams in the company. Key responsibilities are:

• Developing new data-science / ML functions on the AI & Analytics Engine by contributing production-grade Python code to our code base;
• Taking charge of existing code base for continuous maintenance, bug fixing, and improvement;
• Working with the Software/DevOps Engineering team to brainstorm ideas, develop new features and improve the product, delivering them as per the roadmap and release schedule;
• Facilitate the design process for new features as a representative from the Data Science team, collaborating and sharing knowledge with Product Managers/Analysts, Software/DevOps Engineers, and UI/UX designers;
• Supporting our Marketing,  Community, Sales, and Business Development teams with:
  • Client facing: Developing and demonstrating use cases on the Engine to sales leads, as well as supporting existing and incoming clients with on-boarding and troubleshooting their data science / ML projects on the Engine;
