Location:
Bengaluru Asper builds agentic AI for Revenue Growth Management and Demand Forecasting at leading global CPG companies. Our agents are only as robust as the models and decision systems behind them. You will lead that foundation: the science, ML engineering, and MLOps behind pricing, promotion, assortment, trade, and demand forecasting decisions that influence billions of dollars in revenue. Your mandate is to make these models scientifically rigorous, production-grade, explainable, and reusable across customers—rather than rebuilding them for every deployment. This is a builder’s role. You will set the technical direction for a multidisciplinary organization while staying close enough to the work to challenge a forecasting methodology, an elasticity estimate, or an optimization approach that may be statistically sound but commercially unusable. Why work with us?
• Experience a fast paced, growing, and stable start-up with a culture of care at heart. You will be enabled to be your best every day – personally & professionally.




• Be a part of the AI revolution and bring to life solutions that make a difference to the world.
• Coming to work will not feel monotonous – you get to work with some of the brightest and the nicest colleagues you will meet and build bonds for life. We work hard and have fun together as well.

Key Responsibilities
Understand domain context and conduct exploratory data analysis to determine the best data science approach for the customer.
• Identify how the data science approach can be executed via the product pipeline and any customer specific configurations needed to achieve objectives.
• Train machine learning and deep learning models on large scale time series datasets
• Use data wrangling and exploration to extract insights and relationships from the data
• Perform descriptive analysis and build visualizations to help customer understand what drives the business metrics
