Machine Learning Engineer, Growth

Metropolis Metropolis · Vertical AI · Seattle, WA +2 · Advanced Technologies

Machine Learning Engineer to develop and expand revenue forecasting and dynamic pricing systems, influencing key business metrics like revenue, utilization, and customer demand. This role involves designing and implementing models for demand prediction, price-demand analysis, and pricing strategies, with significant ownership over data, modeling, and infrastructure.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, develop, and productionize demand forecasting models optimized for different business goals (e.g., visits, revenue, availability)
  2. Innovate and improve Machine Learning models for price elasticity, time series, and probabilistic models for revenue optimization
  3. Design and build end-to-end data pipelines to support large-scale production usage
  4. Identify data issues (e.g., bias, leakage, labeling inconsistencies) and drive solutions
  5. Design and analyze experiments (A/B, switchback, causal inference) to validate pricing strategies
