The Role: Data Scientist Location: San Francisco Bay Area Salary: $160k base -$180k base+ Equity *Depending on experience ABOUT : Our client is a fast-growing, female-founded retail AI technology company redefining how shoppers discover and connect with products online. Their platform transforms complex, messy product data into rich, human-centered intelligence that mirrors how real people think, search, and shop. By bridging the gap between merchant language and customer intent, they power dramatically better search, discovery, personalization, and conversion across digital commerce. The result is a smarter, more intuitive shopping experience that helps leading retailers unlock meaningful revenue growth while creating seamless, high-impact customer journeys. The Opportunity In this role, you'll be at the heart of how our platform thinks. You'll design, fine-tune, and ship advanced NLP systems that combine the latest in large language models with efficient, production-grade traditional machine learning. The work spans everything from adapting open-source foundation models for our proprietary text generation needs, to building fast classifiers and vector-based retrieval systems that operate over enormous volumes of data with strict latency requirements — directly influencing revenue outcomes for some of the largest brands in the world. What You'll Own NLP and LLM Engineering:
Adapt and fine-tune open-source foundation models (Llama, Mistral, and similar) and stand up production-grade RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines that extract detailed product attributes and produce copy that drives conversion. Production-Scale ML Architecture:
Build systems that balance modern model accuracy with the cost, latency, and throughput realities of real-time e-commerce. You'll have strong instincts for when an LLM is the right call and when a tuned classifier, custom embeddings, or specialized vector retrieval is the smarter choice. Semantic Search and Retrieval:
Develop and refine vector-based search systems that connect shopper language to merchant catalog language with sub-second performance. Evaluation and Production Health:
Track live model performance, design robust evaluation frameworks for generative output (with a focus on minimizing hallucinations within retail taxonomies), and tune inference for high-traffic workloads. Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work side by side with data engineering, MLOps, and product to move experimental prototypes into reliable, scalable, revenue-generating production services. What We're Looking For Education:
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or another quantitative discipline. Experience:
2–5 years building, shipping, and maintaining ML models in production environments. Technical Stack:
Strong Python and SQL fundamentals. Deep working knowledge of modern deep learning and NLP tooling (PyTorch, Hugging Face, transformers). Familiarity with LLM deployment and orchestration frameworks (vLLM, LangChain, and fine-tuning approaches like LoRA / QLoRA). Hands-on experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate) and embedding workflows. Pragmatic Architect:
Highly analytical, with demonstrated judgment about when generative AI is worth the cost and complexity and when classical ML is the better answer. Nice to Have:
Background in e-commerce, search relevance, recommendation engines, or working with large-scale retail data. Why This Role Scale and Impact:
You'll be working against a proprietary dataset that simply doesn't exist elsewhere, and your work will move real revenue numbers for major brands. Momentum:
The company is fast-growing and increasingly recognized as a category leader in retail AI. Team and Culture:
Collaborative, curious, and built around experimentation, diverse perspectives, and solving meaningful real-world problems. Compensation and Benefits:
Competitive salary, equity participation, full healthcare coverage, and flexible time off.
