About CINC Systems

CINC Systems is the leading provider of accounting and management software for the community association management industry. Our platform supports tens of thousands of associations and millions of homes, generating rich datasets across finance, operations, and customer interactions.

As CINC evolves toward more intelligent, AI-enabled products, deep analytical insight and rigorous data science are critical to identifying new opportunities, shaping product strategy, and validating where AI can deliver real value. The Staff Data Scientist plays a central role in that discovery.

About the Role

The Staff Data Scientist is a senior individual contributor responsible for advanced data analysis, feature exploration, model design, and research that enable the discovery of new insights and product opportunities. This role focuses on understanding data deeply, experimenting with models, and translating analytical findings into clear recommendations that inform product, engineering, and business decisions.

This is not a reporting or dashboarding role. It is a research-oriented, insight-driven role for someone who thrives on ambiguity, asks sharp questions, and uses data to illuminate what should be built next and why.

Key Responsibilities

• Explore large, complex datasets to uncover patterns, anomalies, and opportunities
• Design and evaluate statistical and machine learning models to support insight discovery and hypothesis testing
• Partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to frame questions and translate findings into actionable insights
• Conduct feature exploration and selection to inform downstream AI and analytics initiatives
• Design experiments and analyses to validate assumptions and measure impact
• Develop prototypes and proofs of concept that demonstrate the potential value of new models or approaches
• Communicate results clearly through narratives, visualizations, and written recommendations
• Stay current with advances in data science, statistics, and applied machine learning
• Collaborate with Data Engineering and AI Engineering teams to transition validated ideas into production-ready work
• Mentor other data scientists and analysts, raising the level of analytical rigor across the organization

Qualifications

Technical Expertise

• 10+ years of experience in data science, applied research, or advanced analytics roles
• Strong foundation in statistics, probability, and experimental design
• Experience designing and evaluating machine learning models for classification, regression, clustering, or forecasting
• Proficiency in Python and common data science libraries
• Experience working with large datasets in SQL-based and analytical data environments
• Ability to reason about data quality, bias, and limitations

Research and Collaboration

• Proven ability to work in ambiguous problem spaces and define meaningful analytical questions
• Strong communication skills, able to explain complex findings to non-technical audiences
• Experience influencing product or business strategy through data-driven insights
• Comfortable collaborating across disciplines without formal authority
• Structured thinker who can balance exploration with rigor

Mindset and Values

• Deep curiosity and a passion for discovery
• Belief that insights precede automation and that not every problem needs a model
• Learning-first attitude, continuously improving methods and tools
• Pragmatic and outcome-oriented, focused on decisions and impact
• Respects the difference between research, engineering, and operations while collaborating closely with all three

What Success Looks Like

• New insights lead directly to product opportunities, experiments, or strategic decisions
• Models and analyses are trusted, well-reasoned, and reproducible
• Stakeholders understand not just the results, but the implications and trade-offs
• Promising ideas move efficiently from discovery to validation and into engineering roadmaps
• The Staff Data Scientist is recognized as a thought partner and expert across the organization
