Role Overview

We're looking for a highly hands-on Senior Data Scientist who thrives on solving complex real-world problems with data. This is an individual contributor role where you'll own machine learning models, data pipelines, and production deployments end-to-end. You'll work with large-scale enterprise datasets, troubleshoot production issues, and collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to deliver impactful AI solutions. Beyond technical ownership, you'll mentor junior data scientists through code reviews, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing while remaining deeply involved in hands‑on development.

What You'll Do

• Build, train, evaluate, and optimize machine learning models for task detection, behavioral pattern recognition, process mapping, and drift analysis
• Own the complete ML lifecycle, including data exploration, feature engineering, model selection, experimentation, validation, and deployment
• Design and develop scalable data pipelines for multimodal enterprise data, including event logs, screen telemetry, and structured process data
• Process and analyze large datasets using distributed platforms such as Spark, Databricks, or equivalent technologies
• Ensure data quality through validation frameworks, drift detection, monitoring, and proactive issue resolution
• Investigate and resolve production data and model issues across customer environments
• Build internal diagnostic tools and monitoring dashboards for production ML systems
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and Solutions teams to deliver reliable AI-driven products
• Mentor junior data scientists through code reviews, technical guidance, experiment reviews, and best practices
• Communicate complex technical concepts and model insights clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Must-Have Skills

• 5–8 years of industry experience building and deploying production machine learning solutions
• Strong Python programming skills with clean, modular, production-quality code
• Hands‑on experience with Spark, Databricks, or other distributed data processing frameworks
• Strong expertise in feature engineering, model development, experimentation, and statistical analysis
• Experience with at least two of the following: Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, NLP, Deep Learning, Sequence Modeling, or Process Mining
• Experience building scalable data pipelines and working with large-scale datasets
• Strong understanding of data quality, model monitoring, drift detection, and production troubleshooting
• Experience mentoring junior data scientists through technical leadership and code reviews
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative discipline

Nice to Have

• Experience with Process Mining, RPA, Workflow Analytics, or Enterprise Process Intelligence platforms
• Familiarity with MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar experiment tracking platforms
