• Enrich internal models by linking external data sources (e.g. weather, location data) to studio performance

• Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to productize models, monitor performance, and iterate based on results

• Stay up to date with advances in ML/AI, testing new ideas that could bring value to our customers

About You

• 5+ years in a data science, ML engineer, or similar role, ideally in a product-led environment

• Proven experience deploying predictive models in production

• Proficient in Python (e.g. scikit-learn, pandas) and SQL

• Comfortable with cloud data platforms like Snowflake and AWS

• Ability to communicate data findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders

• Bonus points for experience in fitness, wellness, or consumer behavior domains

What Success Looks Like
