About the role

We are looking for a Staff Data Scientist to lead complex modelling and analytical projects of broad and diverse scope. You will drive cross-product initiatives with minimal direction, setting the technical approach where problems are ambiguous and raising the bar for the entire data science team.

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 5+ 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 3-5 years of professional data science experience building predictive models
