Role overview
We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist with strong programming skills, a deep command of analytical methods, and the ability to turn complex data into clear business insights. You’ll join a small, highly skilled team where your work has a direct impact on how the business operates and makes decisions.
Responsibilities
- Apply the right analytical methods‑statistical analysis, regression, clustering, forecasting, classification‑to solve real business problems at scale
- Design and build end‑to‑end analytical solutions‑from data extraction in BigQuery and MariaDB to actionable insights and automated reporting
- Develop and maintain data pipelines, analytical frameworks, and tooling using Python and SQL
- Use AI‑powered development tools (Windsurf, Gemini, Claude, Cursor) to accelerate experimentation, code generation, and analysis
- Leverage the latest AI features and tools (LLMs, embeddings, generative AI) to augment and automate analytical workflows
- Build lightweight applications and APIs (FastAPI) to put models and insights into the hands of stakeholders
- Own the data architecture decisions within your domain‑schema design, data modeling, and pipeline reliability
- Communicate results, trade‑offs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and business audiences
- Map and improve business processes through data‑driven analysis and process design
- Write sophisticated SQL in BigQuery and MariaDB
- Build automation and tooling in Python
- Leverage AI‑powered tools like Windsurf, Gemini, and Claude to work faster and smarter
- Understand how data is structured end‑to‑end, from source systems through to the warehouse, and know which analytical approach fits which business question
- Operate independently, manage your own priorities, and continuously raise the bar on what's possible with data
- Translate complex data into clear narratives for stakeholders across the organization
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional experience in data science, advanced analytics, or a quantitative field
- Expert‑level SQL - deep fluency in BigQuery and MariaDB or similar data platforms; you understand query optimization, partitioning, and data modeling
- Strong Python and/or JavaScript skills - production‑quality code, not just notebooks; experience with modern data and ML libraries
- Deep understanding of analytical methods - regression, clustering, time series, A/B testing, classification; you know when to apply what and why
- Solid understanding of data architecture - how warehouses, lakes, and pipelines are designed; how to structure data for both analytical and ML workloads
- Proficiency with AI‑powered development tools - Windsurf, Gemini, Claude, Cursor, or similar; you leverage AI assistants as a core part of your workflow
- Excellent communication skills - you present complex technical work in a way that drives decisions
- Self‑managing and self‑sufficient - you set your own priorities, unblock yourself, and deliver without hand‑holding
- Relentlessly curious and ambitious - you're always learning, always building, always improving
- A public GitHub profile showcasing your projects, experiments, or contributions
Nice to have
- Experience with Next.js or modern frontend frameworks for building data‑facing applications
- FastAPI experience for serving models or internal tooling
- Background in business process analysis or operational process design
- Experience working across multiple business departments (Finance, Marketing, Sales, Operations, Engineering) - broad organizational exposure is a big plus
- Experience with JSON‑based data formats, APIs, and integration patterns
- Understanding of Docker and Kubernetes - containerization and cluster orchestration experience is a big plus
Benefits
- Globally distributed team environment
- Remote or hybrid work options (location‑dependent)
- Challenging projects with company‑wide impact
- Competitive compensation, 25 days paid annual leave, plus holidays
- A culture that values curiosity, clean engineering, and people who genuinely love what they do
