Senior Data Scientist — Zomato

About this Data Scientist role at Zomato

Zomato is hiring senior data scientists in Gurugram to build personalization engines and demand forecasting models that power India's largest food delivery platform. This is a core AI role at a private MNC where your machine learning work directly impacts millions of users across India. If you're an experienced data scientist ready to solve high-impact problems at scale, this role offers the technical depth and compensation you're looking for.

What you'll do

• Build and optimize personalization models that recommend restaurants and dishes to Zomato users
• Develop demand forecasting pipelines to predict order volumes and optimize logistics
• Design and run A/B tests to validate model improvements and measure business impact
• Work with Python, statistical modeling, and deep learning frameworks to solve real-world problems
• Collaborate with engineers and product teams to ship machine learning features into production

Who should apply

You need 4+ years of hands-on data science experience. This is a senior-level role, so you should be comfortable leading analysis projects, explaining statistical results to non-technical stakeholders, and taking ownership of model performance. The JD doesn't require domain knowledge in food delivery or logistics — strong fundamentals in Python, statistical modeling, A/B testing, and deep learning are what matter.

Salary & offer in context

Zomato is offering ₹30–60 LPA (₹2.5–5 lakh per month) plus ESOPs. For a senior data scientist role at a leading private MNC, this sits at the higher end of the market. Senior data scientist salaries in India typically range from ₹20–60 LPA depending on company stage and location; Zomato's offer reflects their scale and the impact you'd have.
