About the role

We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our lean and formidable team as one of our earliest hires. You'll own analytical problems end to end: scoping the question with a customer, building the pipelines and models that answer it, checking every number, and presenting what you found. You'll work directly with customers and the founders, and your work will shape both our customer deliverables and the analytical engine behind our AI-powered products. As Bonfire grows, so does the scope of this role.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years in a data science or advanced analytics role
  • Strong SQL skills with experience writing complex queries (joins, aggregations, window functions, CTEs)
  • Proficiency in Python for modeling, hypothesis testing, and predictive analytics
  • Experience building or maintaining data pipelines, Databricks or Spark is a plus
  • AI-forward by habit: you already use AI tools daily to work faster and better, and you're excited to keep pushing what they can do
  • Rigor by default: you sanity-check every number before it goes to a customer and build habits that catch your own errors at scale

The problems are ambiguous, the data is messy, and the bar for what we ship is high. We're looking for someone smart, scrappy, rigorous with numbers, fluent with AI tools, and comfortable owning problems that don't come with instructions.
