Experienced Data Scientist

Bridgify is a travel-tech startup building the next generation of automated trip planning and experience optimization. Our AI-powered products are already used by some of the largest brands in the travel industry, and we’re scaling fast. We move quickly, ship to production frequently, and expect everyone on the team to have a direct impact on the product and the company’s direction.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Data Scientist with strong expertise in NLP, GenAI, and LLM-based systems. This is a high-impact, high-pace role where you will design, build, and deploy AI-driven features used by millions of travelers.

If you’re highly driven, comfortable working in fast-moving environments, and love turning ideas into production-ready solutions—this role is for you.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end DS projects: research → modeling → deployment → monitoring

• Build GenAI/LLM-based features (chat, tagging, search, recommendations, translation )

• Develop classic NLP pipelines where needed (tokenization, similarity, classification, clustering)

• Work with structured and behavioral data to uncover insights and guide product decisions

• Prototype and implement features such as recommender systems and ranking algorithms

• Deploy and maintain your solutions in real production environments

• Collaborate closely with Product & Engineering to deliver fast, high-quality outcomes

• Move fast — experiment, test, iterate, and ship

What we’re looking for (Must-Haves)

• 4+ years of experience in Data Science / Machine Learning, with focus on NLP

• Hands-on experience with GenAI / LLM models and prompt engineering

• Strong Python skills and deep knowledge of the DS ecosystem (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn)

• Strong SQL skills (experience with SQLAlchemy is a plus)

• Experience deploying models or pipelines to production

• Solid understanding of ML/DS theory (optimization, evaluation, embeddings, modeling)

• Comfortable working at high pace, making quick decisions, and iterating fast

• Experience with Git and modern development workflows

• Curiosity, product thinking, and desire to make real impact

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with Elasticsearch, vector search, embeddings

• Experience with recommender systems

• Startup or early-stage ownership experience

• Familiarity with data pipelines or ML engineering practices

Why Join Bridgify

• Direct ownership over meaningful, user-facing features

• Work in a fast-moving, energetic, high-impact environment

• Influence product decisions and see your work go live quickly

• Be part of a small, talented team shaping the future of travel AI
