Noon is building an ecosystem of fast, scalable, and customer‑centric digital products across the Middle East, with the mission “Every door, every day.” As a Growth Data Scientist on the Noon Minutes team—a hyper‑local delivery platform operating in the UAE and Saudi Arabia—you will develop and own machine‑learning models and systems that drive smarter customer engagement, promotional efficiency, and overall business performance.
Responsibilities
- Build and own ML models for customer segmentation, propensity scoring, and lifecycle prediction to enable targeted, high‑ROI growth interventions.
- Design and iterate on promotional optimisation systems‑modelling incrementality, testing coupon strategies across customer segments, and optimising budget allocation.
- Develop automated performance monitoring and anomaly detection pipelines that surface meaningful signals across key growth metrics.
- Design, analyse, and improve experimentation frameworks; ensure statistical rigour across A/B tests and incrementality studies.
- Work closely with product and engineering to take models from prototype to production—you own the full lifecycle, not just the notebook.
- Translate complex model outputs into clear, actionable insights for commercial and product stakeholders.
Requirements
- 1-3 years of experience in data science or applied ML, ideally in a consumer technology or e‑commerce environment.
- Strong ML fundamentals – clustering, classification, regression, ranking, and reinforcement learning / bandit algorithms.
- Proficiency in Python; experienced with standard ML and data libraries (scikit‑learn, XGBoost, pandas, etc.).
- Strong SQL skills; comfortable working with large‑scale transactional datasets independently.
- Solid understanding of causal inference and experimentation – you know the difference between correlation and incrementality.
- Experience deploying models in production environments, not just research settings.
Nice to have
- Quick‑commerce, e‑grocery, or marketplace experience is a plus.
