About the role

Level Infinite, Tencent's global gaming brand, is hiring an Associate Data Scientist intern to build AI-powered capabilities for its influencer marketing platform. The role turns data and machine learning into product features, from creator discovery and content understanding to campaign optimization and performance prediction, working at the intersection of data science, product and engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and deploy machine learning and AI models, including creator segmentation and recommendation, content labeling and analysis, and campaign performance prediction and optimization.
• Translate business and product problems into data science solutions, design experiments to validate hypotheses, and iterate on models based on performance and feedback.
• Work with data engineers to build scalable data pipelines, clean and structure creator and campaign data, and design features that improve model performance.
• Collaborate with product managers and engineers to integrate models into the platform, contribute to API design, model serving and inference workflows, and ensure models are production-ready.
• Track model performance with accuracy, precision, recall and business KPIs, maintain documentation and ensure reproducibility.

Required profile

• Strong foundation in machine learning and statistics.
• Ability to turn ambiguous business problems into data science solutions, with strong analytical and hypothesis-driven thinking.
• Understanding of how models create value in a product context.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering and business teams, and to explain complex models simply.

Required skills

• Proficiency in Python and common ML libraries such as PyTorch and scikit-learn.
• Experience with data processing tools such as pandas and SQL.
• Familiarity with LLMs, NLP or recommendation systems is a strong plus.
• Understanding of model deployment (APIs, batch and real-time inference) is preferred.
• Nice to have: experience in influencer marketing, advertising or creator platforms; familiarity with social media data (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok); embeddings, vector databases or retrieval systems; basic data engineering or MLOps knowledge.
