# Data Scientist - AMP > Valsoft Corporation · Beirut, Lebanon (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-04-28 **Workplace:** hybrid **Department:** Research & Development ## Description Aspire Software is looking for a Data Scientist to join our team in Lebanon. **Here is a little window into our company:** Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio. About the job: We're looking for a Data Scientist who has taken machine learning models — especially reinforcement learning — from research to production. Today, our pricing engine is a rule-based parametric system (elasticity modeling, sigmoid demand curves, day-of-week weighting, occupancy and pickup deviation guardrails). Your job is to evolve it into a learning system: contextual bandits, RL policies, and probabilistic forecasting that price thousands of hotel-room-nights every day. You will also integrate other signals into this forecasted price, like competitor prices, events in the area, weather, etc.  You'll own this work end-to-end: framing the problem, designing rewards and offline evaluation, training models, and shipping them as production Python services on our FastAPI / AWS stack — not handing notebooks to engineers. You'll be expected to move fast using AI-assisted development tools.  What You'll Work On  - Pricing Intelligence — Replace and extend our parametric pricing engine (occupancy deviation, pickup velocity, price elasticity, booking curve forecasting, seasonality, day-of-week effects) with learned models: contextual bandits, RL policies, and Bayesian elasticity estimation  - RL in Production — Design reward functions, exploration strategies, and off-policy evaluation that let us deploy RL pricing safely across multi-tenant hotel data; build the training, monitoring, and rollback infrastructure to support it  - Demand Forecasting — Improve our booking-curve and final-occupancy forecasts (currently sigmoid-based) with proper time-series and probabilistic methods; quantify uncertainty and feed it into pricing decisions  - Simulation & Evaluation — Extend our historical replay and synthetic simulation harness into a first-class offline evaluation and A/B testing framework for pricing policies  - LLM-Powered Features — Build agentic workflows (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, LangChain / LangGraph) for event-based pricing recommendations, demand analysis, and revenue-manager copilots  - Productionization — Write production-grade Python services: typed, tested, modular packages running on FastAPI / SQLAlchemy / PostgreSQL — the kind of code a staff engineer would approve, not scripts and notebooks thrown over the wall  - Data Pipelines — Work with PredictHQ event data, competitor rate feeds, and PMS integrations (Seekda, InnQuest, others) to build reliable data flows that power pricing decisions  - Infrastructure — Contribute to our AWS architecture (ECS Fargate, SQS, EventBridge, S3, CloudWatch) and help scale the platform as we grow  Tech Stack  - Core: Python 3.11, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2.0, Alembic, PostgreSQL, Redis  - ML / RL: PyTorch or TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Stable-Baselines3 / Ray RLlib (or equivalent), MLflow or similar experiment tracking  - AI / LLM: OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, LangChain, LangGraph, PredictHQ  - Data: Pandas, Polars, NumPy, statsmodels  - Infrastructure: AWS (ECS Fargate, SQS, EventBridge, S3, CloudWatch, ECR), Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD  - Observability: Prometheus, Grafana Loki, PostHog ## Requirements - 4+ years of professional data science / ML engineering experience with models running in production (not just notebooks, dashboards, or analytics)  - Production reinforcement learning experience — you have personally designed, trained, deployed, and monitored at least one RL or contextual-bandit system serving real users at scale. You can speak in detail to: reward design, exploration / exploitation trade-offs, off-policy evaluation, distribution shift, safe rollout, and what broke when the model met production  - Strong Python development skills beyond scripting and Jupyter — you write modular, typed, tested Python packages; you're comfortable with async patterns, ORMs (SQLAlchemy), building production APIs (FastAPI or similar), and you can hold your own in a code review with backend engineers  - Solid foundations in classical ML, statistics, and time-series — regression, Bayesian methods, causal inference, demand forecasting, price elasticity  - Experience working with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) and frameworks like LangChain or LangGraph for agentic workflows  - AI-assisted development is a must — you actively use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar to accelerate your workflow. We expect you to ship faster and think bigger because of these tools  - Strong SQL and data-modeling skills (PostgreSQL preferred)  - Experience with AWS cloud services or equivalent cloud platforms  - Comfortable working with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and production deployments  Nice to Have  - Experience in revenue management, hospitality tech, dynamic pricing, yield optimization, or ad / e-commerce bidding  - Background in price elasticity estimation, contextual bandits for pricing or recommendation, or hierarchical Bayesian demand models  - Experience with event-driven architectures (SQS, EventBridge, or similar)  - Familiarity with model and data observability — Prometheus / Grafana, drift detection, model performance dashboards  - Experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms  - Publications, open-source contributions, or competition results in ML / RL  What We Value  - Speed with quality — Ship fast, but ship code and models a staff engineer would approve  - AI-native workflow — You don't just know about AI tools, you use them daily to write, debug, and architect  - Ownership — Pick up a problem and drive it to completion without hand-holding  - Simplicity — Elegant solutions over over-engineered ones. Minimal code that does the job  - Curiosity — Our domain (hotel revenue optimization) has real depth. You're excited to learn it ## Apply [Apply at Valsoft Corporation](https://apply.workable.com/valsoft-corp/j/D13F2553B7/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
