Lead Data Scientist (AI & Systems) - YM

Our client is a growing deep tech company building advanced sensing and analytics platforms. The team works at the intersection of AI, cloud systems, and human-centered data to develop real-time, intelligent solutions used across international markets.

We’re looking for a hands-on leader to drive the design and deployment of advanced AI and machine learning systems. You’ll work across time-series, sensor, image, and unstructured data — and lead full-stack model development from R&D to real-time cloud implementation.

This is a highly technical role with cross-functional impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement ML models for time-series, sensor, and image data

• Apply predictive and prescriptive analytics to multimodal datasets

• Develop platform-agnostic AI solutions for cloud-based deployment

• Lead full-stack model deployment across Python, ML frameworks, and databases

• Collaborate with product and software teams to integrate AI into live systems

• Build and manage scalable data pipelines and databases

• Lead model performance optimization and real-time inference

• Research and prototype novel AI-driven digital indicators

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or Physics

• 3+ years’ experience managing a small team of data scientists

• 5+ years' experience in applied data science or ML engineering

• Strong proficiency in Python and ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)

• Hands-on experience with cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure) and backend integration

• Familiarity with time-series models (e.g., LSTM, regression, ensemble methods)

• Solid foundation in data preprocessing and statistical modeling

• Comfortable working with structured and unstructured datasets

• Experience with database systems (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)

• Bonus: Experience working with sensor data or real-time systems
