Role Overview

The Data Scientist is a core member of the AI & Data Science CoE, responsible for building predictive and prescriptive analytics models that directly drive business outcomes across OnMobile’s product portfolio.

This role works closely with POD-embedded data analysts, ML engineers, and business stakeholders to translate complex business problems into analytical frameworks, design experiments, and deliver actionable insights. With access to 15+ TB of user behaviour, transaction, and performance data on BigQuery, this role is pivotal to OnMobile’s transformation to a data-driven decision model.

Roles & Responsibilities

Predictive & Prescriptive Analytics

• Design, build, and validate predictive models for churn, LTV, revenue forecasting, and user behavior across Tones and Gaming products.

• Develop prescriptive analytics solutions for campaign budget optimization, dynamic pricing, and content recommendation.

• Build decay models for revenue, subscriber base, and ARPU at operator and portfolio levels.

Experimentation & Statistical Analysis

• Apply rigorous statistical methods (hypothesis testing, causal inference, Bayesian analysis) to drive evidence-based decision-making.

• Identify high-LTV and high-ARPU parameter combinations and develop replication strategies across operators.

Insight Generation & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work with pod-embedded data analysts to translate complex model outputs into actionable business recommendations.

• Present findings to pod leaders and senior leadership using clear, narrative-driven reporting.

• Collaborate with ML engineers to productionize models and ensure they meet performance and reliability SLAs.

• Partner with AI/GenAI engineers to integrate model outputs into automated insight generation pipelines.

Data Exploration & Feature Engineering

• Explore and analyse the 15+ TB data estate on BigQuery to discover patterns, anomalies, and opportunities.

• Design and build feature engineering pipelines that feed into ML models and the feature store.

• Contribute to data quality improvement and data governance practices within the CoE.

Must-Have Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels, XGBoost, LightGBM) and SQL (BigQuery).

• Deep understanding of statistical modeling, time-series analysis, survival analysis, and regression techniques.

• Experience with classification, clustering, recommendation systems, and optimization algorithms.

• Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow/PyTorch) for NLP or structured data problems.

• Experience with experiment design (A/B testing, multi-armed bandits) and causal inference methods.

• Working knowledge of data visualization tools (Looker, Tableau, or Metabase).

Domain & Business Skills

• Experience in telecom, subscription services, digital marketing, or gaming analytics is strongly preferred.

• Understanding of unit economics: CAC, LTV, ARPU, churn, retention cohorts.

• Ability to translate business problems into well-defined analytical frameworks.

• Strong communication skills to present complex analyses to non-technical stakeholders.

Collaboration & Process

• Experience working with cross-functional teams (product, marketing, operations, engineering).

• Familiarity with ML lifecycle: model development, validation, deployment handoff, monitoring.

• Experience with version control (Git), experiment tracking (MLflow/Weights & Biases), and notebook environments.

Good to have Skills

• Experience with GCP ecosystem (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Dataform, Cloud Composer).

• Exposure to LLM-based analytics or GenAI applications (RAG, prompt engineering).

Benefits & Perks

• Flexible Work Hours

• Industry best Insurance Coverage
