Ownership: you treat cost, latency, and business impact as your problem, and your team's. Bias to build: a prototype in a real workflow beats a perfect design doc every time. Comfortable with ambiguity: most of what we build has no playbook yet, and you help write it. Keep it simple: pick the approach that delivers the most value with the least complexity, and #makeithappen.At talabat, your success is defined by both results and behaviors. We hire for excellence in craft and for the Leadership Principles that shape how we think, decide, and collaborate. What you achieve matters, and how you achieve it defines us. Together, they move the business forward and deliver great experiences. Learn more about our Leadership Principles here.

About the CompanyCareem is building the Everything App for the greater Middle East — making it easy to move around, order food and groceries, manage payments, and more. Our purpose is simple: to simplify and improve people’s lives and build an awesome organisation that inspires.Since 2012, Careem has enabled earnings for over 2.5 million Captains, simplified the lives of more than 70 million customers, and built a platform where the region’s best talent and entrepreneurs thrive. We operate in 70+ cities across 10 countries, from Morocco to Pakistan.We’re now entering our next chapter — one powered by AI. We’re looking for AI talent: curious problem-solvers who know how to apply AI to build tools, automate workflows, and create real impact. Whether it’s streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, or reimagining internal systems — we want people who can make Careem work smarter and move faster.About The TeamThe Personalization team sits within Careem's Data Science organization and owns the AI systems that decide what every user sees, in what order, and why across Food, Quik, and Shops. Our mission is to build the hyper-personalization layer for the Careem app: real-time, cross-vertical recommendation and ranking systems that learn from a user's behavior in one vertical and apply that understanding everywhere else they engage with Careem. As one of the senior technical leads on this team, you'll help define how Careem thinks about personalization at a regional scale working alongside the region's top data science talent, and pushing the state of the art using graph-based retrieval, transformer architectures, and real-time learning.What You'll DoOwn hyper-personalization use cases across Food, Quik, and Shops designing systems that learn a user's intent and preferences in real time and transfer that signal across verticals, so a user's behavior on one product makes every other product smarter.Be a technical lead on Careem's exploration of graph-based retrieval methods for recommendations including evaluating and building knowledge graph pipelines that power candidate generation and ranking at scale.Design and evaluate transformer-based architectures (XFY) for sequential and contextual recommendation moving Careem's ranking and retrieval stack beyond classical ML toward deep, attention-based models.Push toward online/streaming learning systems that adapt to user behavior within a session, not just from batch-trained models refreshed on a daily cadence.Identify where personalization signals, models, or infrastructure can be shared across Food, Quik, and Shops rather than rebuilt per vertical reducing duplicate work and compounding the value of every experiment.Be part of a 0-to-1 AI transformation for the Careem app from a personalization standpoint shaping how generative AI and LLM-based systems augment retrieval and ranking.Build a long-term vision for how Careem rethinks customer acquisition and engagement strategies, grounded in data-driven decision-making.Drive exploratory analysis to understand user behavior across verticals, identifying new levers to move metrics and building behavioral models that inform product enhancements.Shape and influence the ML models and instrumentation that optimize the product experience, surfacing new areas of opportunity and new product directions.Provide product leadership through data-driven recommendations communicating the state of the business, root-causing metric movements, and using experimentation results to influence product and business decisions.Implement scalable machine learning algorithms that run in production on large-scale data.Run exploratory data analysis to better understand user and business phenomena, and to discover untapped areas of growth and optimization.Answer complex analytical questions from large datasets to help shape Careem's products and services.Define and track key metrics for specific personalization initiatives.Design and run randomized controlled experiments (A/B tests), analyze results, and communicate findings to cross-functional teams.Continually challenge the status quo investigating new data processing technologies, retrieval architectures, and learning paradigms, and ensuring the team operates at industry-leading standards.Build and deploy retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and other applications of large language models within the personalization stack.What You'll Need7-10 years of experience in data mining, predictive modeling, time series analysis, machine learning, and Big Data methodologies, including transformation and cleaning of structured and unstructured data.Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline such as Physics, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or Computer Science.Solid experience with deep learning techniques including attention mechanisms, retrieval models, and transformer-based architectures (XFY or similar) applied to ranking or recommendation problems. Working with or evaluating knowledge graphs, graph neural networks, or graph-based retrieval systems is a strong plus. Careem is actively building toward graph-based retrieval for recommendations.2-4 years of industry experience in personalization, recommendation, or search is a MUST. Preferably gained in a product-driven company operating at scale.Strong problem-solving and coding skills.Solid knowledge of A/B testing methodology, classical ML, and deep learning.Solid understanding of recommendations, ranking, and retrieval systems end-to-end.Familiarity with or interest in online/streaming learning systems models that adapt within a session rather than relying solely on batch retraining, is a strong plus.Proficiency and demonstrated experience in Python, SQL, Spark, and Hive.Demonstrated experience with database technologies (e.g. Hadoop, BigQuery, Amazon EMR, Hive, Oracle, SAP, DB2, Teradata, MS SQL Server, MySQL).Demonstrated experience with business intelligence and visualization tools (Tableau, MicroStrategy, ChartIO, Qlik); geospatial data processing skills are a plus.What We'll Provide YouWe offer colleagues the opportunity to drive impact in the region while they learn and grow. As a full time Careem colleague, you will be able to:Work and learn from great minds by joining a community of inspiring colleagues.Put your passion to work in a purposeful organization dedicated to creating impact in a region with a lot of untapped potential.Explore new opportunities to learn and grow every day.Work 4 days a week in office & 1 day from home, and remotely from any country in the world for 30 days a year with unlimited vacation days per year.Access to healthcare benefits and fitness reimbursements for health activities including gym, health club, and training classes.

Murphy AI company logo - hiring for AI roles in UAE

Data Scientist

Murphy AI

Financial Services

Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Financial Services
Full-time

Murphy deploys AI agents for banks starting with the most straightforward business case: voice AI for debt collection. We’ve built a fully-fledged platform designed to optimize recovery rates while maintaining respectful and personalized communication.Our AI-powered agents adapt instantly, engaging with debtors across channels like voice, messengers, email and SMS to maximize results while preserving trust.We’re live with Santander, Revolut, BBVA and dozens others. We’ve proven the product in large-scale pilots with top-tier banks. And now we need to move fast to secure leadership in this $300Bn+ industry.About The RoleWe're looking for a Data Scientist to build the Murphy’s brain — the ML that decides who we contact, when, how and how often, to recover the most debt inside hard legal limits. Recovery is a data problem before it's a voice problem, and you own the data problem. This is one of the highest-leverage seats in the company: your models set the strategy every AI agent executes, on every call.Murphy builds AI voice agents that collect overdue debt for banks: more recovered, faster, cheaper, fully compliant, and respectful to the debtor. We're live with Santander, Revolut, BBVA and dozens others. We've proven the product in large-scale pilots with top-tier banks — now we're making every contact smarter, and we need a scientist to own the models that decide how we collect.What you'll doOwn the contact strategy. Who Murphy contacts, when, how often, on which channel — voice, WhatsApp, etc. — to maximise recovery inside hard legal guardrails.Model the debtor. Propensity and uplift models — who picks up, who pays, who responds to which voice, script or offer — turned into live segments the agents act on.Optimise with experiments. A/B tests and bandits over timing, cadence, voice and negotiation policy; find what lifts recovery, and ship it fast.Own business-level outcomes. Collaborate with product, engineering and commercial teams to define solutions and improve the key metrics.Who you areYou hold a degree in mathematics, statistics, machine learning, or computer science.Rigorous with probability and statistics. Experimental design, causal inference. You reach for the right tool, and you know when a result is real.AI-native, ruthless on quality. You reach for AI to automate and streamline by default — and you know exactly where it gets sloppy. You never let that through, and you control quality rigorously.You don’t need a collections or fintech background. We’d rather teach the domain to a killer than hire a lifer who can’t ship — you’ll pick up the domain, the data and the regulation cold, fast.Requirements2+ years shipping ML that ran in production and moved business metrics. Models that pick the best next action and measure whether it actually changed the outcome; ranking, pricing or contact-strategy models. Models that ship as code, not notebooks.Expert Python. Comfortable in a real production codebase — you take a model from idea to production and monitor it. We use Python for ML/AI services and TypeScript around it, on AWS and PostgreSQL.Statistics you can defend. Experimental design, causal inference, measuring the real effect of an action — not just correlations. You know when a result is real, when it’s noise, and how to test it.Experimentation. You’ve designed, run and interpreted A/B tests or bandits on live traffic, and shipped the winner.You turn models into decisions. You can explain to stakeholders why the model says to call this client at 6pm — and defend it.🤝 What we offer💰 Salary at the top of the benchmark.📈 Fair equity with enormous upside potential.🧩 Real Ownership - Murphy's strategy is yours to drive.🙌 Small team, high autonomy, and outsized impact.🗣️ The founding team's direct attention, and a category with a $300B+ industry behind it.🛜 Hybrid & Flexible: Our default setup is hybrid – 3 days a week at our office and 2 days of remote work.📚 Our Process1️⃣ First Interview – Getting to Know YouA conversation with a future teammate who’s excited to find a new colleague.
