About the Team
 
Our Data Science team is the Avengers to Meesho’s S.H.I.E.L.D 🛡️. And why not? We are the ones who assemble during the toughest challenges and devise creative solutions, building intelligent systems for millions of our users looking at a thousand different categories of products. We’ve barely scratched the surface, and have amazing challenges in charting the future of commerce for Bharat.  
 
Our typical day involves dealing with fraud detection, inventory optimisation, and platform vernacularisation.
 
As Lead Data Scientist, you will navigate uncharted territories with us, discovering new paths to creating solutions for our users.🔍 You will be at the forefront of interesting challenges and solve unique customer problems in an untapped market.
 
But wait – there’s more to us. Our team is huge on having a well-rounded personal and professional life. When we aren't nose-deep in data, you will most likely find us belting “Summer of 69” at the nearest Karaoke bar, or debating who the best Spider-Man is: Maguire, Garfield, or Holland? You tell us ☺️
 
 
About the Role 
 
Love deep data? Does ‘innovative-thinking’ describe you? Then you may be our next Lead Data Scientist.
 
In this role you’ll be the Dumbledore to our team of wizards - our junior data scientists. You will be responsible for transforming scattered pieces of information into valuable data that can be used to achieve goals effectively. You will extract and mine critical bits of information and drive insightful discussions that result in app innovations.
