Job description

Overview

We’re growing our Data Science team to help shape the future of our platform. Based in Kitchener, we’re a fast-moving software company building a category-defining product powered by cutting edge security. Our team is solving complex engineering and data science related problems at scale. As a Data Scientist here, this role blends hands-on modeling with production ML engineering. You’ll build models (often from scratch) and deploy them to the cloud, while also shaping the ML engine itself in Python. We’re looking for around 5+ years of industry experience, strength in non–deep learning methods (tree-based, ensemble, probabilistic), with the ability to apply deep learning to raw, non-textual data when needed. A startup mindset—adaptable and collaborative—is key. If you want to design models from the ground up and see them running in the wild, this is that role. If you love working with data in a product-first environment, and want to have a direct impact on what we ship and how our customers experience it—we’d love to talk.
