- You will apply methods in statistics, machine learning, NLP, and LLMs to problems such as ranking events, predicting attendance, extracting content from unstructured text, and enhancing data quality to enable our customers to have complete confidence in our products.
- Along the way you will extract and share insights from your findings and build data pipelines to support end to end implementation of your models.
- Collaborate with stakeholders and other engineers to define success criteria, frame machine learning problems, align model metrics with business goals, design minimum viable products, architect and implement model solutions in production
- Perform analysis and modeling with large data sets, including discovering data sources, accessing and cleaning data, and developing feature and prediction pipelines
- Apply data mining, NLP, machine learning and generative AI to real-world problems, including but not limited to: supervised/unsupervised learning, large language models, and causal inference

Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings in real-time - providing an ideal platform to communicate ideas, thoughts, and brand identity. Vendelux offers a platform that empowers event marketers and CMOs to analyse customer and competitor behaviour, and in turn choose the best conferences to attend.
The company leverages AI to deliver insights on attendees and sponsors of over 160,000 global conferences, helping customers decide which events they should attend and sponsor for the largest return. It also allows collaboration with sales teams to book meetings with every possible lead, and ROI evaluation tools that prove the value of all event marketing activities.
Since founding, the company has amassed a growing customer base including the likes of Paypal and Calendly, and also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent funding will allow Vendelux to broaden its reach, enhance product development, and further diversify its customer segments.
