About the Team

‍

‍

The Ecommerce Machine Learning Team is a group of data scientists, machine learning engineers, and experimentation experts with diverse backgrounds and degrees, all working to create data-driven experiences that enhance our customers’ buying journey.

We design smarter digital experiences, strengthen our platforms, and make sales and marketing efforts more efficient and connected. While product experience is central, the true unlock comes from the technologies we build — powering deeper customer insights, more personalized engagement, and faster sales cycles.

About the Role

‍

As an Ecommerce Machine Learning Intern, you’ll work hands-on with the development and training of cutting-edge machine learning models and algorithms. Your work will help us leverage user behavior and industry trends to deliver highly personalized recommendations — at just the right moment.

In this role, you’ll wear both the data scientist and software engineer hats. You’ll not only design and experiment with models but also build and deploy them into real-world systems. Unlike companies that separate research from engineering, our machine learning engineers own projects end to end — from ideation and experimentation to production implementation.
