Location: Singapore
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Internship
Job Function: Data Science & Machine Learning
Seniority: Intern level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Model user demand elasticity across products and coupon values and optimize budget allocation under constraints to maximize GMV and conversion rate.
  • •Design globally optimal allocation and pricing algorithms using elasticity modeling for efficient budget efficiency across large-scale users and catalogs.
  • •Integrate real-time item-wise voucher capabilities into recommendation pipelines across short videos, live streaming, and marketplace to enable joint traffic + subsidy decision-making.
  • •Research and productionize causal inference and frontier AI technologies (uplift modeling, E2E modeling, RL, LLMs, AI agents) to improve user conversion and repeat purchase behavior.

Key Requirements

  • •Currently pursuing an undergraduate or master’s degree in Software Development, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • •Strong expertise in machine learning and deep learning, with familiarity with models for recommendation, advertising, search, or marketing.
  • •Hands-on experience and deep understanding in at least one area: causal inference/uplift modeling, operations research optimization, search/recommendation/advertising algorithms, or frontier AI technologies (LLMs/AI agents/generative recommendation).
  • •Knowledge of operations research optimization methods such as linear programming, integer programming, dynamic programming, and MCKP (preferred if targeting budget allocation/pricing algorithms).
  • •Excellent business acumen and logical thinking, with the ability to translate complex business problems into mathematical or algorithmic models and drive them into production.
