## About the role

We're looking for a Staff Data Scientist to join our lean and formidable team as one of our earliest hires and lead data science at Bonfire. This is our most senior data role: you'll own our hardest analytical problems end to end, set the standard for how we turn raw data into answers customers trust, and shape the decisions we make as a company. You'll work directly with customers and the founders, and you'll help hire and mentor the team as it grows.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ 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 at scale, 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
