INTERN DATA SCIENTIST
The intern data scientist will work with a data science mentor and play a key technical role in analysing large data sets to develop custom models and algorithms to drive business solutions. The projects the interns shall be working on are core retail problems spanning across few key areas. A select few problem statements:
Project 1 Title: Supply Chain Cost Optimization
Description: Predictive cost modeling by Forecasting landed costs using data & images, historical data and macroeconomic indicators; Identify cost anomalies across similar styles to flag negotiation opportunities or errors.
Required Skills & Traits: ML/DL algorithms, python/sql programming, data science introduction
Expected Outcomes: Optimize cost
Project 2 Title: Customer Forecasting
Description: Predict customer file and guide marketing investments and campaign decision planning based on traffic trends by different marketing drivers \
Required Skills & Traits: ML/DL algorithms, python/sql programming, data science introduction
Expected Outcomes: customer file forecast outputs along with interpretable drivers for scenario planning
Project 3 Title: Customer Lifecycle Modeling – Next Best Action Models
Description: Build customer lifecycle state models through a set of next best actions to increase customer retention, cross-category penetration, trip frequency and omni-channel shopping.
Required Skills & Traits: ML/DL algorithms, python/sql programming, data science introduction
Expected Outcomes: Next best action model developed and productionized; model outputs leveraged for customer journey campaigns
Project 4 Title: Supply Chain Forecasting & optimization
Description: Develop state-of-the art forecasting models at sku level to help DC teams in inventory planning and fulfilment forecasts; build optimization algos.
Required Skills & Traits: ML/DL algorithms, python/sql programming, data science introduction
Expected Outcomes: model developed and productionized; model outputs leveraged for supply chain decision planning
Project 5 Title: Agentic AI Use cases
Description: Build Agentic AI applications for the enterprise; end-to-end application build using state-of-the art llm models
Required Skills & Traits: LLMs, Prompt engineering & finetuning, LLM Evaluations, LLMOps

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
An Intern Data Scientist will work very closely with a data science mentor and would be responsible for building data science and machine learning/deep learning solutions for our business problems across e commerce, finance, store operations, logistics and supply chain:
• Research and propose innovative statistical/ML/DL models to address the requirements.
• Target and formulate various problems in terms of key business metrics and measure the impact of the built ML/DL techniques.
• Analyze data for trends & patterns and interpret data with a clear objective in mind.
• Develop, deploy ML/DL models in production or help develop a platform to facilitate the same.
• Work closely with the Engineering team to take Data Science projects to production.
• Communicate progress/findings to relevant stakeholders.
• Keep updated with emerging technologies in AI/ML.
