About Traya

Traya is a health-tech company that treats hair loss end-to-end through a personalized program combining dermatology, Ayurveda, nutrition, and behavioral science. We own the entire pathway - assessment, regimen design, coaching, refills, and protocol adjustments - powered by an adherence engine and outcomes data that improve results over time.

As Traya scales into an omnichannel health platform (web, app, clinics, tele-coaching), data science is the engine powering personalization, retention, and efficiency.

Why This Role Exists

This is a hands-on builder role for a leader who wants to take models from notebook to production. You will own Traya's machine learning roadmap end-to-end : building models that predict churn, optimize marketing spend, personalize regimens, and power recommendations - all tightly integrated with product and engineering.

The goal : ship ML systems that measurably improve LTV, retention, and funnel efficiency.

Your Mandate

1. Build High-Impact ML Models

• Design, train, and deploy models for churn prediction, lead scoring, regimen personalization, recommendations, and forecasting.
• Establish frameworks for uplift modeling, causal inference, and incrementality measurement.
• Continuously iterate and retrain models based on business feedback and new data.

2. Own MLOps & Model Lifecycle

3 . Partner Closely with Product & Growth

4. Build & Mentor a World-Class Team

Deployed ML Models : Productionize churn prediction, lead scoring, recommendation systems with measurable ROI.

Automation & Scalability : Fully operational MLOps pipelines with minimal manual intervention.
