Job summary

Sciemo, based in New York City, seeks a Data Scientist to develop models and analyses behind our AI-powered consumer goods platform. You will turn messy customer data into forecasts, optimization insights, and measurable business impact, reporting to our Co-Founder & CAIO.

This role offers early ownership, direct mentorship, and rapid growth as you work across the full lifecycle from problem understanding to production integration and collaboration with customer teams.

• Solid foundation in statistics and machine learning: regression, time series, tree-based methods, experimental design.
• Strong Python (pandas, scikit-learn, and the surrounding ecosystem) and strong SQL.

• Eagerness to learn quickly in a startup environment.
