We're Hiring: Senior Data Scientist / Principal Consultant – AI & ML Solutions | Bengaluru | 5 Days In-Office | 8+ Years Experience

Not another chatbot role. Not another "AI strategy" role.

Aarvian is looking for a Senior Data Scientist who is still deep in the code — someone who spends 60% of their time building and shipping production ML and Agentic AI systems, and the other 40% acting as the technical quality gate for a fast-moving AI/ML team working on real enterprise problems.

If your last 12 months has been mostly stakeholder decks, dashboards, or managing people who build models — this isn't the right fit. We need a builder.

? What You'll Do

- Design & ship production ML systems end-to-end — pipelines, feature engineering, training, serving, monitoring (not notebooks, not POCs)
- Go deep on XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Random Forest — and beyond, into ensemble methods, causal inference, and uplift modelling
- Build real Agentic AI — multi-agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and LLM-powered process automation using LangChain, LlamaIndex, simplAI, or similar
- Own retail use cases: demand forecasting, markdown/price optimisation, promotional uplift, inventory intelligence, personalisation
- Review architectures, approve model designs, and hold the technical bar for everything your team ships
- Work directly with Aarvian's AI/ML CoE owner — no filters,



no extra management layers

What You Bring
- 8+ years in data science/ML engineering, hands-on throughout your career
- Models you personally built and deployed at real production scale — not pilots, not handovers
- Expert Python and advanced SQL — you write production-quality code and pull your own data
- Real Agentic AI experience — systems that execute autonomous business actions, not FAQ bots or demo-ware
- PySpark/Databricks (or equivalent) and MLOps fundamentals — MLflow, drift monitoring, CI/CD for ML
- Retail, FMCG, e-commerce, or CPG domain exposure is a strong plus

Not a Fit If
- Your AI experience is primarily chatbot/virtual assistant development
- "Deployed" in your résumé means a 6-week pilot on a sample dataset
- You haven't personally written production code in the last year

Why Aarvian
- Your models directly influence pricing, inventory, and buying decisions at live retailers
- Direct access to the AI/ML CoE owner — your voice shapes technical direction
- Real startup exposure — see how a high-growth AI adoption business is built, sold, and scaled
- Genuinely hard, genuinely engaging technical work — not the same use case recycled for a new logo

Senior at Aarvian means technically senior — not organisationally senior.
