Requirements
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field; equivalent practical experience and demonstrated skills will also be considered.
  • 1–3 years of experience in data science, data analysis, or technical support for data products; strong analytical interns or fresh graduates with outstanding debugging skills may also be considered.
  • Hands-on experience developing, deploying, and/or maintaining machine learning models in production environments.
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and relevant machine learning frameworks (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to conduct rigorous data analysis and communicate findings clearly.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams and directly with customers to solve business problems.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

  • Experience with data visualization tools and monitoring/observability stacks.
Responsibilities
  • Investigate complex and often disorganized datasets to diagnose underlying causes of issues such as model degradation, unexpected patterns, and data quality problems.
  • Perform extensive exploratory data analysis (EDA) to detect data drifts, anomalies, and quality issues that may impact model performance.
  • Design and run diagnostic experiments and adversarial tests to deliberately “break” models and solutions, revealing edge cases, failure modes, and hidden assumptions.
  • Define and implement validation checks, monitoring dashboards, and alerting mechanisms that surface issues early and guide triage.
  • Serve as the primary technical contact for data science issues, ensuring rapid responses, clear communication, and end-to-end ownership of problem resolution.
  • Fine-tune hyperparameters, retrain models, or implement minor algorithmic adjustments based on analytical insights.
  • Collaborate with support, product, engineering, and partner teams to implement comprehensive solutions, enhance processes, and ensure a positive customer experience.
  • Communicate technical findings clearly and empathetically to both customers and internal stakeholders, fostering trust through transparency and responsiveness.
  • Contribute to playbooks, runbooks, and best practices that continuously improve how we test, monitor, and support ML/AI solutions.

Aera Technology provides AI-powered decision automation for large enterprises, especially with complex supply chains. Its system continuously analyzes and indexes data from enterprise systems to give real-time visibility, predict risks and opportunities, and recommend the best actions. It can autonomously execute decisions and learns from each outcome to improve future recommendations. This differentiates it by focusing on end-to-end decision automation that combines real-time insights with autonomous action rather than just analytics. The company targets large corporations and operates on a subscription or licensing business model, aiming to help customers reduce operating costs, increase efficiency, and boost revenue.

Aera Technology recognized on Constellation ShortList(TM) for Decision Automation.

Aera Technology recognized on Constellation ShortList(TM) for Decision Automation. Aera Technology Decision Intelligence Innovator Driving Enterprise ROI Through AI-Powered Decision-Making MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-BUSINESS WIRE- Aera Technology today announced it has been named to the Constellation ShortList(TM) for Decision Automation in Q1 2026, recognizing leading technology providers that enable enterprises to define, govern, execute, and continuously improve automated business decisions. Since its inception, Aera Technology has been recognized on several Constellation ShortLists, reflecting its continued leadership in helping global organizations operationalize AI through decision intelligence. Using Aera, the decision intelligence agent, global enterprises can automate and orchestrate decisions across complex supply chains and business operations. Aera connects data, AI, and automation to continuously sense conditions, recommend actions, execute decisions, and improve outcomes in real time. By writing decisions directly back to enterprise systems and capturing the context and outcomes of each decision, Aera creates a living decision memory that enables continual learning and institutional knowledge across the organization. "Enterprises are entering a new phase of AI adoption where value comes from operationalizing decisions at scale," said R "Ray" Wang, CEO and Founder of Constellation Research. "Constellation's ShortList identifies the platforms enabling this shift toward more autonomous and accountable enterprise operations." The Constellation ShortList highlights technology providers delivering capabilities that enable organizations to apply AI to operational decisions and accelerate the path toward more autonomous enterprises. Platforms are evaluated on their ability to support the full decision lifecycle, from defining objectives and contextual data to executing and continuously improving decisions with governance, accountability, and human-in-the-loop controls. According to Constellation Research, decision automation platforms go beyond traditional analytics and task automation by integrating decision execution and outcome attribution directly into enterprise workflows. Falling outside this category are standalone analytics tools, task-based robotic process automation (RPA), or model development environments that lack an integrated decision execution layer. Michael Ni, Vice President and Principal Analyst of Constellation Research, noted: "Decision automation has emerged as the missing layer that blends unified data foundations, shared semantics, and tribal knowledge with runtime policy-as-code to deliver executable decisions that can be trusted to scale across systems, teams, and workflows, with accountability." "It's an honor to be recognized by Constellation Research for helping enterprises advance autonomous decision-making," said Fred Laluyaux, Co-Founder, President, and CEO, Aera Technology. "Organizations now have a significant opportunity to automate and scale decisions across the value chain to improve agility, performance, and impact. Decision intelligence isn't just a technology shift - it's changing how enterprises operate, the outcomes they achieve, and the way people and AI collaborate." * Find the complete Constellation Research ShortList for Decision Automation * Explore Aera Skills(TM) for decision intelligence * Follow its Decision Intelligence Podcast for insights on AI, decision intelligence, and the future of work * Register for the Future of Decisions Now Webinar series to learn how organizations are operationalizing decision intelligence at scale About Aera Technology Aera Technology is the leader in agentic decision intelligence and creator of Aera, the first decision intelligence agent.
