IV.AI; United States; On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

IV.AI is seeking a senior data scientist to lead and shape our data science practice. You will own the technical quality of models, move experiments into production, and build scalable pipelines on GCP. This is a hands-on, mentorship-driven role in a small, distributed team with ownership of outcomes.

You will mentor teammates, apply statistical rigor, and drive the adoption of modern ML workflows while collaborating closely with leadership on technical direction.

Qualifications

• 6-8+ years of professional data science experience with a strong foundation in statistics and machine learning.
• 2-3 years of hands-on production/deployment experience, not just modeling.
• Experience productionalizing data science work: moving from notebooks to scheduled, reliable pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Composer, Cloud Functions) or similar.
• Strong Python skills across the full DS workflow: ETL, analysis, and modeling.
• Experience mentoring or technically leading less experienced data scientists.
• You've thrived in a startup, small, or other 1-10 environment where you built structure from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical quality bar for models, metrics, and analyses across the team.
• Define what good looks like technically: code review standards, reproducibility, and a path from prototype to production.
• Stay current on modern ML and agentic workflow techniques and help the team adopt them where relevant.
• Contribute hands-on to real analyses and models; this is a working technical role.
• Help migrate work from notebooks into centralized, version-controlled, reproducible workflows.
• Design and implement production-grade data pipelines on GCP: scheduled and triggered jobs.
• Mentor data scientists across the team and raise the technical bar.
• Partner with the DS team's manager on technical direction while they focus on strategy.
