## About the role

We are looking for a Principal Data Scientist with deep, specialized expertise to lead our organization's most complex and high-impact modelling and analytical initiatives. As a recognized technical authority, you will set modelling strategy across the organization, drive our most novel work, and raise the technical standard for how we build and ship models.

## What they're looking for

- You like getting things over the line. You have an insatiable desire to deliver value now and improve next. MVP perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away
- You still do a better job than Claude, and you’re skeptical of your friends who say they never code any more
- You love to take initiative and spearhead new projects, even if they are not well defined
- You build systems bigger than you. You contribute to open source, build packages your peers want to use, or design frameworks to elevate your team. Reuse is a strategy, not a buzzword
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Biostatistics, Mathematics, or similar related field AND 8+ years of professional data science experience building predictive models
- OR Master’s or Ph.D in Computer Science, Data Science, Biostatistics, Mathematics, or similar related field AND 5+ years of professional data science experience building predictive models
