About BEES

At BEES, our ambition is – and always will be – to put customers at the heart of everything we do, making their lives easier and their businesses more profitable. Through our B2B e-commerce and SaaS platform, we bring the power of digital to small and medium-sized retailers, unlocking new growth opportunities for all.

The BEES AI organization drives data science and machine learning strategy across customer-facing products, logistics, fintech, and operations. We build end-to-end intelligent systems that optimize commercial execution, improve customer engagement, and enhance operational efficiency at global scale.

As a member of the BEES Frontline Data Science team, you will develop data-driven solutions that power sales force effectiveness, customer coverage strategies, and execution consistency across markets.

What you'll do:

  • Be part of a high-impact data science team building intelligent systems that support sales execution and customer engagement at a global scale.
  • Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and optimization solutions across the full lifecycle — from research and experimentation to production — focusing on customer segmentation, visit planning, and execution strategy.
  • Apply advanced techniques such as statistical modeling, clustering, optimization, and model explainability to generate actionable insights and improve decision-making.
  • Translate complex commercial and operational problems into scalable data science solutions, incorporating business rules, constraints, and edge cases.
  • Lead and contribute to experimentation and performance evaluation, ensuring models are robust, interpretable, and aligned with business objectives.
  • Write production-grade code and build reusable data and modeling pipelines that operate reliably at scale.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, operations teams, and business stakeholders to ensure solutions are effectively integrated into frontline tools and processes.
  • Drive technical excellence by exploring and applying state-of-the-art methodologies in machine learning, optimization, and analytics.
  • Ensure model transparency and trust by leveraging explainability techniques and clearly communicating model behavior and trade-offs to stakeholders.

What you'll need:

  • Strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and problem-solving.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field; Master’s preferred; PhD is a plus.
  • Proven experience applying machine learning, clustering, optimization, or advanced analytics to real-world problems in production environments.
  • Experience with complex systems involving uncertainty, business constraints, and large-scale structured and unstructured data.
  • Proficiency in Python for data analysis, modeling, and production workflows; experience with distributed processing (e.g., Spark / PySpark) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with at least one of the following domains: customer analytics, route-to-market strategy, or commercial operations.
  • Experience with model explainability techniques (e.g., SHAP, feature importance, dimensionality reduction methods such as PCA) and interpreting model outputs for business use.
  • Experience with experimentation frameworks, model validation, and performance monitoring.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including version control, CI/CD, and reproducible workflows.
  • Ability to work with ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and translate complex business needs into structured analytical solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex models, trade-offs, and insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
