As a Data Scientist, you will own the end-to-end development of data solutions — from understanding business problems to deploying and maintaining models in production. You’ll work closely with customers and internal teams to build impactful, scalable solutions using machine learning, NLP, and other advanced techniques.

• Lead the data science lifecycle, from discovery and exploration to delivery and customer hand-off.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into clear problem statements and deliver working, production-ready solutions.
• Partner with customers and internal stakeholders to co-design use cases, define success criteria, and ensure models are adopted and successful in production.
• Build quick, iterative prototypes to test ideas, and work cross-functionally to deploy validated solutions into production environments.
• Own and improve pipelines for data integration, validation, and monitoring, ensuring long-term stability and performance.
• Analyze large-scale structured and unstructured datasets to extract insights and power model development.
• Apply machine learning, NLP, graph analytics, and other advanced techniques to solve challenging problems such as semantic search, or anomaly detection.
• Create and maintain internal data science tooling to streamline experimentation, testing, and delivery.
• Support internal teams and customers with issue resolution, ensuring data science solutions continue to deliver value post-deployment.
• Follow and advocate for best practices in MLOps, DataOps, and clean code to ensure reproducibility, maintainability, and scalability.

• Based in Canada (remote-first team; flexible working environment).
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience with LLM technologies (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI APIs, etc.) and building NLP applications.
• Deep proficiency in Python: you write clean, modular, maintainable, and testable code suitable for real-world deployments.
• Solid SQL skills and hands-on experience with large-scale data (e.g., PySpark, BigQuery).
• Skilled in graph analysis, machine learning, and unstructured data workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to apply software engineering best practices (e.g., modular design, clean code, unit testing, CI/CD) in data science and machine learning projects, ensuring production-readiness and maintainability.
• Ability to drive end-to-end initiatives, from exploration to delivery, where solutions must be state-of-the-art, business-aligned, and regulatory-compliant.
• Comfortable working in Linux environments and using collaborative tools (e.g., Git, Docker).
• Strong communication skills—translate technical complexity into actionable business narratives, driving clarity, alignment, and decision-making across all levels of the organization.
• Mindset of ownership: you’re excited to see projects through, from first prototype to deployed, customer-facing solution.
