Role
Who you are
- Master's degree or Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, Economics, Physics, or a related technical field
- 4+ years of experience as a data scientist or machine learning engineer
- Proven track record of deploying machine learning models to production environments (or strong interest in learning)
- Strong proficiency in Python and machine learning libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, statsmodels)
- Experience working with SQL and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) is a plus
What the job involves

- You'll align closely with analysts, stakeholders, and data engineers across the company to define solutions to pressing problems
- Your work will directly and measurably impact the company's revenue by innovating on our pricing and recommendation systems
- Partner with stakeholders to translate business problems into actionable machine learning solutions
- Develop data pipelines to ensure a steady flow of high-quality data for model training

- Design and conduct experiments to evaluate your models' performance and effectively communicate the results to senior leadership
Our take
Loyalty systems, vouchers, and other special offers have a proven track record at winning over new customers for businesses. However, customers can be reluctant to sign up due to the sheer number of these schemes. Upside exists to unify these loyalty schemes with a single flexible reward app.
While retail reward platforms are nothing new, Upside functions more like a marketplace, linking participating businesses to potential customers. It also rewards customers with cash back on eligible purchases, a more flexible reward than is traditional in loyalty schemes.
With over 50,000 businesses enrolled and 30 million app users, Upside has grown into a major player in this sector. The company is well-funded and ever-expanding its offering, with a product that is increasingly appreciated by consumers in an expensive world, as well as the businesses who depend on their custom.
