Data Scientist Manager

Datamicron Systems Sdn Bhd; Kuala Lumpur; On-site; MYR 180,000 - 320,000; Full time

Job summary

Datamicron Systems Sdn Bhd in Kuala Lumpur seeks a Data Science Manager to lead client-facing analytics and data engineering projects from scoping to deployment. You will design analytical approaches using our low-code data science studio, visual ETL platform, and enterprise lakehouse.

You will mentor junior data scientists, coordinate cross-functional delivery, and communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders while managing scope, timelines and risks.

Responsibilities

• Lead the execution of client-facing data science, analytics, and data engineering projects from scoping through deployment and handover.
• Design analytical approaches and solution architectures using our low-code data science studio, visual ETL platform, and enterprise lakehouse.
• Write Python to extend, integrate, or bridge these platforms — custom transformations, model logic, APIs, automation, and anything the visual tools can't handle out of the box.
• Build and operate advanced pipelines and architectures for large data volumes and concurrency.
• Own solution quality: data validation, model evaluation, reproducibility, performance, and operational reliability (monitoring, alerting, failure recovery).
• Lead and mentor a team of junior data scientists and analysts; review their work, unblock them technically, and grow their skills.
• Break projects down into workable tasks, assign them across the team, and keep delivery on track.
• Set and uphold standards for code quality, documentation, and analytical rigor.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client stakeholders during project delivery.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into well-defined analytical work, and communicate findings and trade-offs clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Manage scope, timelines, and expectations; escalate risks early and propose options.
• Collaborate with product engineering (Python/FastAPI, React) to feed learnings back into the product.

Job description

What You'll Do

Project & Technical Delivery

• Lead the execution of client-facing data science, analytics, and data engineering projects from scoping through deployment and handover.
• Design analytical approaches and solution architectures using our low-code data science studio, visual ETL platform, and enterprise lakehouse (with change-data-capture capabilities).
• Write Python to extend, integrate, or bridge these platforms — custom transformations, model logic, APIs, automation, and anything the visual tools can't handle out of the box.
• Build and operate the harder engineering layers of a solution when projects demand it: orchestrated pipelines, worker-based and event-driven architectures, stream processing, and scaling for data volume and concurrency.
• Own solution quality: data validation, model evaluation, reproducibility, performance, and operational reliability (monitoring, alerting, failure recovery).

Team Leadership

• Lead and mentor a team of junior data scientists and analysts; review their work, unblock them technically, and grow their skills.
• Break projects down into workable tasks, assign them across the team, and keep delivery on track.
• Set and uphold standards for code quality, documentation, and analytical rigor.

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client stakeholders during project delivery.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into well-defined analytical work, and communicate findings and trade-offs clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Manage scope, timelines, and expectations; escalate risks early and propose options.

Internal Collaboration

• Work alongside our internal product engineering team (Python/FastAPI backend, React frontend) to feed field learnings back into the product and, occasionally, contribute to backend integrations.
