Job description

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Data Scientist in Canada.

In this role, you will shape high-impact data initiatives that fuel strategic decision-making and product innovation. You will work with diverse data sources — from financial transactions to customer behavior and system usage — to uncover insights, optimize performance, and drive measurable business outcomes. You will lead advanced analytics projects, build production-grade models, and contribute to next-generation agentic AI applications. Operating within a remote, distributed environment, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve complex challenges and elevate data science capabilities across the organization. This is a role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, data-rich settings and enjoys blending technical rigor with strategic thinking.

Accountabilities

• Lead predictive and descriptive analytics initiatives across finance, marketing, product performance, and operational domains to identify trends, optimization opportunities, and critical insights.
• Design research workflows and oversee full-lifecycle development of data-intensive and AI-driven applications, including agentic AI systems.
• Own model development end-to-end, from data exploration and feature engineering to deployment, optimization, and long-term maintenance.
• Partner with teams in sales, marketing, product, and operations to translate business challenges into robust, data-backed solutions.
• Champion best practices in statistical modeling, MLOps, and advanced AI to continuously evolve internal data science capabilities.

Requirements

• Extensive experience as a Senior Data Scientist in brokerage, trading, or financial services, with hands-on exposure to high-volume, high-integrity data environments.
• Expert proficiency in Python and industry-standard libraries such as pandas and scikit-learn, along with advanced SQL skills.
• Strong background in supervised and unsupervised learning, with proven experience deploying models in production.
• Practical experience working with cloud-native data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or similar technologies.
• Ability to manage full project lifecycles including research, development, deployment, and ongoing optimization.
• Exceptional communication skills and a track record of effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders in fast-paced settings.
• Nice to have: experience building applications with Large Language Models or agentic AI frameworks; familiarity with semantic modeling tools such as dbt Semantic Layer, Cube.js, or LookML.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock option program.
• Comprehensive health benefits.
• One-time 500 USD home-office setup allowance for new hires.
• Monthly 150 USD stipend via Brex Card.
• Inclusive environment committed to equitable opportunities and diverse hiring.
