<p>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 are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer who wants to own that evolution. This is not a research-only role. You will frame problems, explore data, design models, build evaluation systems, investigate real customer issues, and ship production services. Your work will influence real pricing decisions and measurable hotel revenue not just dashboards or internal prototypes. What You'll Work On -Pricing intelligence: Advance our pricing engine using probabilistic forecasting, elasticity estimation, contextual bandits, reinforcement learning, and other appropriate optimization methods. Demand forecasting: Improve booking-curve and final-occupancy forecasts, including uncertainty estimates that can inform safer pricing decisions. Safe experimentation: Build historical replay, simulation, backtesting, shadow deployment, and controlled rollout capabilities to measure revenue impact before models affect customers. Production ML: Turn models into reliable, tested, and observable Python services, owning the path from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and rollback. Problem-solving and customer investigations: Debug unexpected pricing, data, integration, and production behavior. Trace customer-reported issues to their root cause and turn incidents into lasting improvements. Data and intelligent experiences: Strengthen the reservation, occupancy, competitor-rate, PMS, and event-data pipelines behind our decisions, while contributing to AI-powered explanations and revenue-manager tools.
