Anblicks is a Data & AI company helping global enterprises transform data into intelligent, scalable, and business-driven solutions. We specialize in Data Engineering, AI/ML, Cloud, Databricks, Snowflake, and Modern Data Platforms, delivering high-impact solutions for complex enterprise data and analytics challenges.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Data & AI team and lead the development of advanced machine learning, statistical modeling, predictive analytics, and AI solutions. This role is ideal for a hands-on Data Scientist who enjoys solving complex problems using large-scale data and building models that move from experimentation to production.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, evaluate, and deploy advanced machine learning and statistical models for predictive analytics, propensity modeling, segmentation, and data products.
• Apply statistical modeling, machine learning, optimization, and AI techniques to solve complex business and analytical problems.
• Work with large and diverse datasets, including demographic, behavioral, transactional, digital, media, and other structured/unstructured data.
• Drive the complete data science lifecycle — data preparation, feature engineering, model development, validation, optimization, deployment, and monitoring.
• Build and optimize models using supervised and unsupervised learning, ensemble methods, deep learning, and advanced statistical techniques.
• Develop production-grade ML solutions using Python, PySpark, Spark MLlib, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow/Keras, or equivalent frameworks.
• Design and implement scalable ML pipelines using Spark/PySpark and cloud-based data/ML platforms.
• Build and maintain ETL, ML, and MLOps pipelines supporting reliable production deployment.
• Implement automated approaches for model validation, monitoring, QA, performance tracking, and model/drift monitoring.
• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Data Engineering, and Business teams to translate business objectives into scalable data science solutions.
• Define relevant KPIs and model performance metrics and communicate insights to technical and business stakeholders.
• Drive adoption of modern Cloud, AI/ML, Databricks, and MLOps technologies across data science initiatives.
• Explore and implement GenAI and AI Agent solutions to automate analytical and business workflows.
• Partner with engineering teams to successfully transition models and data science solutions from development to production.
• Present analytical findings, model performance, and recommendations to senior stakeholders and clients.
• Mentor junior Data Scientists and contribute to technical standards, best practices, and innovation initiatives.

• Gradient Boosting / XGBoost
• SVM
• Clustering
• Dimensionality Reduction
• Neural Networks / Deep Learning
• Strong understanding of feature engineering, model training, hyperparameter tuning, model validation, performance evaluation, and optimization.
• 5+ years of experience building ETL, ML, data transformation, and/or MLOps pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks or other cloud-based ML/data platforms.
• Experience with Spark MLlib, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras, or equivalent ML frameworks.
• Strong understanding of MLOps and ML lifecycle management, including deployment, monitoring, versioning, automation, and model governance.
• 1–2+ years of experience with GenAI / AI Agents, using technologies such as Claude, Databricks Genie, Snowflake Cortex, LangChain, LangGraph, or similar platforms.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with the ability to translate ambiguous business problems into practical, scalable ML solutions.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to present complex analytical concepts clearly.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, or another quantitative discipline.
