We’re a fully female-founded company on a mission to change the way people search and shop online for fashion…forever! We’re going to spark a new era of fashion discovery, igniting confidence in everybody and every body, and we’ll create a world where fashion confidence starts with “Hey Savi…”.
Hey Savi is at the beginning of an exciting journey and we’re looking for top talent to join our team. Because data, and specifically our data science models, are our IP so you’ll have a major role in shaping the product and experience. Unlike many start-ups we’re very well funded, have a detailed business and financial plan, and are looking for experienced, passionate professionals to join us in creating and scaling a game-changing business.
So if you want a role where you will make a major impact and want to be a part of a team of women building an incredible product and experience for other women, come join us and make the most Savi move of your career!
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist specialising in Computer Vision to work with our Head of Data Science in building the engine that drives our product and experience. The power of data, including Machine Learning and AI, and how to use it effectively and ethically, will shape everything we do now and as we grow, so this is a pivotal role. We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in handling image data, and expertise in object detection and classification. You must have hands-on experience in training, fine-tuning, and evaluating deep learning models. Strong Python programming skills and familiarity with cloud technologies are essential. The role also requires a solid understanding of MLOps best practices, including model deployment, post-deployment monitoring, and managing data/model drift. You should be comfortable collaborating with engineers, optimising computational resources, and ensuring efficient, scalable model serving.
You will be working closely with the full product team including, a top-notch Researcher, stellar Product Designer, highly experienced Product Manager, and visionary Head of Engineering, as well as a world-class Head of Data Science, which this role reports to.
