Senior Data Scientist
This role can be based remotely in United States
About the Role
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop Machine Learning solutions using statistical analysis, data mining, and classical/modern ML techniques.
- Build, train, validate, and iterate predictive models (classification, regression, ranking, forecasting, anomaly detection, clustering) against clear business outcomes.
- Perform feature engineering, exploratory analysis, and experiment design to improve model quality and decision usefulness.
- Collaborate with domain experts to understand business requirements and formulate data-driven solutions.
- Define offline and online metrics, holdout strategies, and monitoring signals for model performance and drift.
- Deliver models to enterprise-grade quality: rigorous, validated, reproducible, and ready for mission-critical use.
- Support packaging and deployment of models into production with engineering partners; maintain clear handoffs.
- Partner with AI Engineering and AI Quality when classical models or predictive signals feed GenAI / agentic workflows.
- Explain complex technical concepts and predictive analytics clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Lead a DS technical area (e.g. forecasting, anomaly detection, experimentation standards).
- Set/improve shared modeling, metrics, and experimentation practices across squads.
- Coach data scientists and raise consistent quality bars.
- Partner with engineering/platform on reusable feature, evaluation, and productionization patterns.
Must-Have Skills & Experience
- 8+ years of Data Science experience.
- B.Sc. in Machine Learning, Statistics, Data Science, Physics, or related field — or equivalent education and industry experience.
- Proficiency in Python and data science libraries (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and PyTorch or TensorFlow)
- Knowledge of statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, experimental design, data mining, and machine learning techniques.
- Experience designing performance metrics and evaluation approaches for predictive ML systems.
- SQL and modern data platforms; data exploration and visualization.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms such as OpenShift (OCP) and AWS.
- Clear communication; ability to work in a multi-tasked, dynamic environment.
- Track record of multi-team influence - standards, metrics, or practices others adopted.
- Experience coaching scientists, not only personal delivery excellence.
- Ability to prioritize a science agenda for an area across initiatives.
Evidence we will look for in hiring:
- Past experience: Improved measurement practices across teams and coached other scientists.
- Delivery evidence: Shared metrics or experimentation standards adopted by multiple teams.
- Shared expectation: Leads a technical area and improves shared practices.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Python backend APIs (FastAPI, Flask, or similar).
- Exposure to Generative AI / LLMs as a collaborator (not a primary hiring filter).
- MLOps practices (MLflow, Kubeflow, experiment tracking, registries, pipelines).
- Time-series forecasting, causal inference, or anomaly detection in enterprise systems data.
- Agile methodology and Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence).
- M.Sc. in a related field
