This extraordinary feat is made possible by our extensive fleet of dedicated on-demand couriers. With their unwavering dedication, they ensure that your desired items reach your doorstep, no matter where you are.\nWhether it's a late-night craving, a forgotten item, or a special gift for a loved one, Mrsool is here to deliver, quite literally. We take pride in the convenience we offer, empowering you to get what you need when you need it, all at the tap of a button.\nThe Job in a Nutshell\nWe are seeking a Data Scientist II (DS-2) to join our core data science team. In this role, you will build and ship models that power Mrsool's quick-commerce marketplace, owning well-scoped problems end-to-end - from analysis and experimentation through to production. You will work closely with cross-functional teams and senior data scientists to deliver robust, data-driven solutions. This position offers an opportunity to grow your craft on high-impact problems and contribute directly to the growth and success of the organization.\nWhat You Will Do\nMarketplace Modelling: Build and maintain ML and optimisation models across the quick-commerce stack - supply-demand matching, dynamic and surge pricing, recommendations, ETA prediction, and broader marketplace optimisation.\nButler & Conversational AI: Contribute to the AI behind Butler, Mrsool's distinctive conversational ordering experience - modelling customer intent from free-form, unstructured requests (text, voice, images) and mapping it to fulfillable, well-priced orders.\nExperimentation & Causal Inference: Design and run experiments (A/B and quasi-experimental) across pricing, matching, recommendations, and Butler, and turn noisy marketplace data into decisions stakeholders can act on.\nFeature Engineering & Data Craft: Engineer high-signal features from messy, real-world data - order events, courier traces, geospatial signals, pricing configs, and conversational text/voice - as a core, ongoing part of the role.\nProduction ML: Own your models through their lifecycle - data pipelines, training, deployment, monitoring, and retraining - and respond when a model or config drifts.\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with product managers, engineers, DevOps, operations, and other squads to deliver seamless, data-driven experiences and to help diagnose live issues (e.g. mispriced brackets, elevated failure rates in a city).\nOperational Excellence: Proactively monitor model and metric health, instrument your work with proper logging and observability, and contribute to reliable, repeatable analysis and deployment practices.\nContinuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve measurement, modelling, and process; favour small, incremental changes that compound over time.\nRequirements\nWhat Are We Looking For\nYears of Experience: 3 to 4 years of non-internship professional data science or ML experience in fast-paced product startups or high-scale tech enterprises.\nExperimentation & Causal Inference: Solid command of A/B test design, power analysis, and quasi-experimental methods (diff-in-diff, instrumental variables, synthetic control), including awareness of interference in marketplace/network settings.\nML & Optimisation Depth: Strong grounding in forecasting and at least one of operations research / reinforcement learning applied to allocation, matching, or pricing problems.\nFeature Engineering: Proven ability to build, select, and maintain features from large, messy, real-world data.\nProduction Engineering: Comfortable deploying, monitoring, and maintaining ML pipelines, with the engineering discipline to keep models reliable in production.\nTechnical Toolkit: Fluent in Python and SQL, with the ability to work efficiently against large-scale data.\nProblem-Solving Mindset: A knack for thinking from first principles and a track record of delivering high-quality work while balancing trade-offs like reliability, latency, and interpretability.\nIterative Mindset: A bias towards shipping early and iterating; a belief in small, incremental changes over large, multi-quarter undertakings.\nEducation: Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, or an equivalent quantitative field.\nWho Will Excel\nData scientists with hands-on experience in quick commerce, marketplaces, logistics, ride-hailing, or on-demand delivery, who understand two-sided supply/demand dynamics.\nThose with NLP / LLM experience - intent classification, entity extraction, embeddings, or conversational/voice data - directly relevant to Butler.\nEngineers comfortable with streaming/big-data tooling (Spark, Kafka) and real-time inference.\nHigh-agency individuals who treat their models as products and collaborate well across conflicting perspectives.\nBenefits\nWhat We Offer You\nInclusive and Diverse Environment: We foster an inclusive and diverse workplace that values innovation and offers remote environments.\nCompetitive Compensation: Our compensation packages are highly competitive and include potential share options for certain roles.\nPersonal Growth and Development: We are committed to your personal and professional growth, providing regular training and an annual learning stipend to help you advance your career in a dynamic environment.\nAutonomy and Mentorship: You'll enjoy a high degree of autonomy in your role, supported by mentorship and ambitious goals that pave the way for both your success and the company's growth.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5971,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Delivery","Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T12:42:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.807,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mrsool-data-scientist-ii-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mrsool-data-scientist-ii-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T22:05:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31104,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48969},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48969"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmrsool-data-scientist-ii-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmrsool-data-scientist-ii-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmrsool-data-scientist-ii-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mrsool-data-scientist-ii-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmrsool-data-scientist-ii-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":963880}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mrsool.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":963880},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
