Full Stack AI/ML Data Scientist | Hybrid | Day 1 HMO | Up to PHP250K

Salary: Up to PHP250K + Pioneer Team, Day 1 HMO

Production Machine Learning Behind Australia's Digital Media Intelligence

Australia's digital media industry generates millions of customer, content, product, and engagement signals-and turning that scale of data into reliable intelligence takes machine learning that performs beyond the lab. As a Full Stack AI/ML Data Scientist, you'll join a pioneer team supporting one of Australia's leading media organizations, developing and operating production ML solutions with Google Vertex AI, GCP, Python, and SQL. Own models across development, deployment, evaluation, and monitoring while gaining global exposure through Emapta, with opportunities to deepen your production ML expertise and progressively expand into generative and agentic AI.
