JOB DESCRIPTION

At Levi Strauss & Co, we are revolutionizing the apparel business and redefining the way denim is made.

We are taking one of the world’s most iconic brands into the next century:

Be a pioneer in the fashion industry by joining our global Data, Analytics & AI “startup with assets,” where you will have the chance to build exciting solutions to improve our Americas business and at the same time be part of a bigger, across-continents, data community.

As a Machine Learning Engineer Lead, you will work on a broad set of domains that power a data-driven transformation of our standard business procedures across channels and organizations. You will develop and deploy novel algorithms along with optimizing existing machine learning systems to maximize their value and increase consumer satisfaction at every brand touchpoint. You will also get the invaluable opportunity to mentor a team of diverse and enterprenuerial data engineers and shape their career trajectory through your expertise.

We are looking for someone who is a technology-agnostic polymath—committed to a lifelong journey of learning and exploration of new scientific ideas—and will bring thoughtful perspectives, empathy, creativity, and a positive attitude to solve problems at scale. This role is ideal for someone looking to extend their algorithm design and software engineering skills into a part mentor, part IC, part advisor role.
