Description
**Who are we looking for?**
--------------------------
We are looking for a senior Data Science and Machine Learning professional with experience in leading end-to-end solutions, from identifying business opportunities to implementing and operating models in production. Someone with a strong analytical vision, autonomy, proficiency in Python and SQL, and the ability to transform data into high-impact business decisions.
Leading the **analytical intelligence** front, end-to-end: elevating business decisions currently made by heuristic rules to **predictive models** and, on the roadmap, to **formal optimization**.
**What will the day-to-day be like?**
--------------------------
**Activities:**
* Map with business areas the decisions that require analytical support, gather available data, and **prioritize predictive scenarios** for hypothesis testing;
* **Measure the baseline** and define business metrics before committing to gains;
* Develop and validate models (prediction, ranking of alternatives, recommendation), with **explainability** of the suggestions;
* Build and operate the **inference service** in Python/FastAPI, on internally approved AI platforms; version the model and dataset; monitor performance and drift;
* Roadmap: formulate decisions as a **constrained optimization problem**, solved by a solver.
**Required skills and experience:**
--------------------------------------------
* **Senior experience in end-to-end ML/Data Science** — from problem formulation to the model in production, not just notebook exploration;
* **Scientific Python**: pandas, numpy, scikit\-learn and at least one of XGBoost/LightGBM/CatBoost;
* **Inference service**: API in Python (FastAPI or equivalent), versioning, reproducibility, and monitoring;
* **Strong SQL** and autonomy to investigate large and poorly documented relational databases;
* **Correct validation**: temporal separation, data leakage, overfitting, metric aligned with the business;
* Explain the results to non-technical stakeholders. **Technical English**.
**What will be a differentiator for us?**
---------------------------------------
* **Mathematical optimization / operations research**: ILP, CSP, solvers (OR\-Tools, Gurobi, CPLEX), multi-objective, heuristics — this is the direction of the roadmap;
* **Applied generative AI** (RAG, response evaluation), with awareness of cost and hallucination.
**What are the benefits of being a Ventureiro or Ventureira:**
---------------------------------------------------------------
* Food/meal voucher with values above the market average;
* Medical and dental plan;
* Monthly home office allowance (remote or hybrid work);
* Monthly mobility allowance (hybrid or on-site work);
* Parental leave (maternity \- 6 months; paternity \- 20 days);
* Daycare assistance up to 36 months of age;
* Care4All program (support network for emotional and physical health);
* Wellhub;
* Access to Conexa Saúde (online mental health platform);
* Access to the SESC network;
* Holiday bridging and year-end recess;
* Life insurance;
* Private pension;
* Scholarship, certification assistance, and Udemy license;
* Corporate English (access to Voxy or Michigan);
* Access to our Corporate University (vnt/school);
* PPR;
* Guapeco (pet health plan).
