Latin America Aiml Data Scientist (decision Intelligence)

Apple Apple · Big Tech · Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil · Sales and Business Development

This role focuses on developing and deploying ML models and AI agents for sales decision intelligence. It involves building insight pipelines, designing forecasting and anomaly detection models, integrating insights into GenAI tools and agents, and implementing LLM evaluation pipelines. The role requires strong Python, ML, SQL, and LLM skills, with an emphasis on translating business problems into technical solutions and collaborating with various teams.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build and scale the automated insight pipeline that powers the ALAC sales organization — developing ML models that detect opportunities, diagnose performance issues, and recommend actions
  2. Lead end-to-end insight development: from data preparation and statistical analysis to LLM prompt engineering that translates findings into sales-ready insights
  3. Design and deploy ML models for forecasting, anomaly detection, attribution modeling, and causal inference — either building custom solutions or adapting Apple's existing ML services
  4. Embed insights into AI agents, dashboards, and GenAI-powered tools used by sales teams
  5. Build RCA and recommendation engines that enhance summarization and chatbot capabilities
