• Build forecasting and traditional ML systems using the company’s large operational dataset
• Collaborate with engineering, product and design to shape the AI strategy and priorities
• Ship high-impact features that reach real stores in days and weeks, not quarters

• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or building RAG pipelines
• Understanding of vector databases, embeddings and evaluation frameworks
• Ability to design multi-modal or multi-service AI systems (text, audio, video or tabular)
