Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist who combines strong expertise in statistical analysis and applied machine learning with practical experience in production-oriented workflows. This role is not just about building models in isolation—you will partner closely with Senior Machine Learning Engineers to ensure models are production-ready, monitored, and continuously improved.

You’ll focus on generating insights, developing models, and proactively collaborating in monitoring deployed algorithms. Beyond the technical, you’ll help identify opportunities for model-driven enhancements and business and customer recommendations based on real-world performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Statistical & ML Modeling
• Develop, validate, and tune statistical and machine learning models that solve complex business problems.
• Partner with engineers to ensure models are designed with production deployment in mind.
• Design experiments and evaluate models using robust statistical methodologies.
• Build and maintain dashboards that proactively monitor product efficacy and distribute key insights across product and customer domains.
  
  
• Production Awareness & Monitoring
• Collaborate with ML engineers on deployment pipelines, APIs, and infrastructure.
• Proactively monitor deployed models for drift, accuracy, and reliability.
• Provide insights and business recommendations based on model performance in production.
• Recommend retraining or refinement strategies in response to performance changes.
  
  
• Business Impact & Strategy
• Translate model results into actionable recommendations for both product and business teams.
• Identify opportunities for model improvements that drive up-sell, revenue growth, and cost reduction.
• Communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  
  
• Collaboration & Leadership
• Work side-by-side with Senior Machine Learning Engineers to ensure smooth handoff from research to deployment.
• Mentor team in best practices for applied ML and production readiness.
• Contribute to evolving data science standards and playbooks that prioritize operational impact.

Qualifications

• Education & Experience
• 5+ years of experience applying machine learning and statistics to business problems.
• Master’s or PhD in Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Prior exposure to production ML environments and workflows.
  
  
• Technical Skills
• Strong proficiency in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow).
• Strong background in statistical methods (supervised/unsupervised learning, classification models, etc.), experimental design, and data visualization (Looker) and storytelling.
• Strong proficiency in SQL (Snowflake) with an ability to work with raw data and collaborate with data engineering teams to optimize data pipelines.
• Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS).
• Solid understanding of APIs, model deployment processes, and monitoring practices.
• Familiarity with other programming languages such as R, Java, and Go.
  
  
• Soft Skills
• Excellent communication skills with ability to bridge technical and business contexts.
• Strong problem-solving and proactive ownership mindset.
• Comfort working in cross-functional teams with engineers, product managers, and business leaders.
• Ability to balance quick iterations with building long-term scalable solutions.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• A high-impact environment and data-driven culture where your models make it into production and drive measurable business outcomes.
• Opportunities to shape both data science practices and production ML systems.
