We start with deep data analysis to understand our customers, their objectives, and any issues they might have. We then use various data points and advanced machine learning algorithms, to come up with the best possible option for each client. We experiment, iterate, and build fully automated solutions, based on algorithms that self-improve with time.

**Challenges & responsibilities**

- Research and develop state-of-the-art machine learning solutions for personalization/recommendation systems to enhance business and gaming objectives.
- Build and evaluate machine learning models to improve in-game features and boost product metrics
- Work closely with the customer, data scientists, product owner,  software engineers, and data engineers to deploy, automate, and maintain models seamlessly on production systems.
- Communicate about machine learning models and products to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Use ML to build a rich, semantic understanding of the various kinds of gaming content

**Skills**

- research and paper analysis
- explanation and presentation
- machine learning and engineering
- advanced English
- documentation development
