Job Overview We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist with a strong foundation in data science, machine learning, and AI who has a proven record of delivering high-visibility, high-ROI solutions to complex business problems. In this role, you will lead a small team of data scientists, set the technical direction, and own end-to-end delivery of impactful AI/ML solutions. You will spend most of your time enabling the team through delegation, coaching, and review, while stepping in hands-on for critical or highly complex work when needed. This role suits someone who has been a standout individual contributor and is now ready to multiply their impact through people. Job Responsibilities Technical Leadership & Delivery • Own the end-to-end lifecycle of data science initiatives: problem framing, data exploration, modeling, validation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. • Translate ambiguous business problems into well-defined analytical and ML solutions with measurable outcomes. • Define technical approach, architecture, and best practices for ML/AI solutions, including statistical modeling, deep learning, NLP, forecasting, optimization, and GenAI/LLM-based applications where relevant. People Management & Team Development • Lead, mentor, and grow a small team of data scientists; set clear goals and expectations aligned with business priorities. • Provide regular, constructive feedback, highlighting strengths and specific areas for improvement. Governance, Quality & Responsible AI • Establish standards for code quality, documentation, experiment tracking, model versioning, and peer review. • Ensure models are monitored for drift, performance degradation, and bias, with clear retraining and retirement criteria. Innovation & Thought Leadership • Stay current with advances in ML, AI, and GenAI; evaluate and introduce relevant methods and tools pragmatically. • Drive reusable assets (feature stores, templates, accelerators, internal libraries) to speed up delivery. What your background should look like: Experience • 9–10 years of relevant experience in data science, machine learning, and AI, with a track record of owning and delivering end-to-end solutions. • Demonstrated record as a strong individual contributor who delivered high-visibility, complex solutions with measurable ROI. • Prior experience leading or mentoring a team (formal or informal), with exposure to people management and leadership responsibilities. Education • Master's or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field (Bachelor's with exceptional experience may be considered). Technical Skills • Programming: Expert-level Python ; strong SQL; working knowledge of software engineering practices (Git, testing, code review, CI/CD). • Machine Learning & Statistics: Deep understanding of supervised/unsupervised learning, time-series forecasting, experimental design, hypothesis testing, causal inference, and optimization. • Deep Learning & AI: Hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or equivalent; experience with NLP, computer vision, or GenAI/LLMs (prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, evaluation) is strongly preferred. • Data & Platforms: Experience with large-scale data processing (Spark or equivalent) and cloud platforms (AWS) and their ML services. • MLOps: Experience deploying and monitoring models in production (e.g., MLflow, Docker, Kubernetes, model registries, pipelines). • Visualization & Communication: Proficiency with tools such as Streamlit or equivalent; strong data storytelling skills.
